Wen Zhu
🇨🇳China
Zhu Wen emerged from the Chinese avant-garde of the 1990s as one of its most sardonic and original voices. I Love Dollars and Other Stories of China captures the giddy disorientation of China's embrace of capitalism — the sudden collision between communist ideology and consumer desire — with black humor and narrative invention. The Matchmaker, the Apprentice, and the Football Fan continues his sharp-eyed observation of Chinese society in rapid transformation. Zhu Wen writes like someone who finds his country simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, a combination that produces fiction of rare honesty.
