Description

China's runaway best-seller and winner of the inaugural Man Oriental Literary Reward Printed in China in 2004, Hair Totem has broken all sales records, selling millions of copies (along side millions more around the black-market). Part interval epic, part myth for contemporary times, Wolf Totem represents the desperate tradition of the Mongols-the forebears of the Mongol hordes who previously terrorized the planet-and the similar annihilation of your pet they think to be holy: the intense and otherworldly Mongolian wolf. Superbly translated by Howard Goldblatt, the foremost translator of Chinese fiction, this remarkable book is finally obtainable in English.
