Turbulence.
Baton Rouge. Louisiana State University Press, 1987. Stock ID #127685 "In this dazzling, earthy novel Jia Pingwa presents an unforgettable chronicle of rural China, a world at once utterly alien and uncannily familiar. Focussed on the area around Crossroads Township, a village on the Zhou River, Turbulence follows the life to two peasants, Golden Dog and Water Girl, through the post-Mao years and sets their starcrossed love for each other against the political upheavals of China itself." From the blurb. Winner of the Pegasus Prize for Literature. When referring to this item please quote stockid 127685.
