Work Description
From inside front cover: Beijing, sometime in the near future: a month has gone missing from official records. No one has any memory of it, and no once could care less -- except for a small circle of friends who will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of the sinister cheerfulness and amnesia that have possessed the Chinese nation. ... A kind of Brave New World reflecting the China of our times, [this] is a complex novel that reveals ... the machinations of the postmodern totalitarian state, and sets in sharp relief the importance of remembering the past to protect the future.
