Ninth Building
Author(s): Zou Jingzhi
Fiction | 2023 International Booker Longlist
Ninth Building is a fascinating collection of vignettes drawn from Zou Jingzhi's experiencegrowing up during the Cultural Revolution, first as a boy in Beijing and then as a teenager exiled to the countryside. Zou poetically captures a side of the Cultural Revolution that is less talkedabout--the sheer tedium and waste of young life, as well as the gallows humour thataccompanies such desperate situations.
Jeremy Tiang's enthralling translation of this importantwork of fiction was awarded a PEN/Heim Grant.
