Author: An Dun
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2000-11-01
Features: An Dun is a stranger wandering through different regions, inner worlds, and discourse spaces. From the publication of Absolute Privacy in 1998 to subsequent works such as Returning Home, Testimonies of This Life, and the novel Fragments of Desire, and up to the present book Encountering Strangers, she strives to provide a comprehensive description of the emotional landscape of modern people. Most of the content included in this book was originally published in Beijing Youth Daily, but has been edited for length or other reasons. The book specially marks these deleted sections to restore the original nature of the oral recordings. All illustrations in the book, except for the last one marked with an asterisk, are reproductions of the newspapers as they were when the oral recordings were originally published.
