Features: "Wolf Totem" is a brilliant and peculiar existence within the overall landscape of contemporary Chinese literature; if read as a novel, it is filled with history and legend; if approached as an ethnological work, it is also fictional and imaginative. The author miraculously combines his academic knowledge and literary talent, with specific descriptions and ethnological insights interpenetrating in such an unexpected and unimaginable way. Clearly, this is a profound book that intertwines emotion and reason, with penetrating insights.
