Features: In the past decade, female writer Zhang Kankang has conducted dialogues with journalists, television personalities, critics, and others in the midst of her writing. These conversations, ranging from sharp to straightforward, deep to casual, have resulted in over ten interview transcripts, which are now compiled into this book. Perhaps some of these thoughts are those that cannot or should not be directly expressed in novels; perhaps they are the result of the interviewees "forcing" the issue; or perhaps they are mere fragments of thought that slipped past the guard of the teeth in certain moments—these conversations about avant-garde, the market, women, and more, Zhang Kankang says, "I believe they are basically honest and sincere."
