| Synopsis: |
Edited by regional experts, this anthology of contemporary Asian literature offers a broad selection of recent fiction, drama, and poetry in the best translations -- many otherwise unavailable in English in North America. It focuses on the contemporary literature from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Vietman; focuses on post-colonial writing -- with most selections written since 1960 -- that reveals the cultural, social, and political concerns of today's emerging and newly-independent nations; and provides introductory essays for each major section -- written by regional experts who chose the selections that offer brief histories, cultural information, and literary background essential in understanding the works. |
