Features: This book is selected and commented on by the "Contemporary New Works Criticism Forum" of Peking University. The forum is hosted by Professor Cao Wenxuan of the Chinese Department at Peking University and young scholar Shao Yanjun, with participants being master's and doctoral students in modern and contemporary literature at Peking University. The forum adopts a method of in-depth reading of representative literary journals such as Harvest, Contemporary, October, Flowers City, People's Literature, and Shanghai Literature, selecting and commenting on novels worth recommending. This work began in 2004 and has been carried out for 3 years so far. This book is a collection of novels recommended by the forum in 2006. It is the product of dozens of intense discussions and exchanges, and as the clamor fades in the wash of time, we hope it can provide a reliable clue for contemporary literature.
