Changsheng, the young wife of the local coffin maker Liu Laoshi, is raped while making an offering to Guanyin in the hope of increasing her chances of bearing a son. Changsheng hangs herself following the encounter, and Liu Laoshi exacts bloody vengeance on the rapist's own wife and favorite prostitute. This act of sexual violence and its retribution provide the narrative pivot around which is woven a web of interconnecting stories, whose characters and events provide divergent perspectives on the rape and its aftermath. The result is an unforgettable exploration of the intersections of sexual desire, sadism, folk belief, and the inexorable cycles of karmic retribution. 410 0$aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a895.1/352 700 $aLi$b Yongping$f1947-$01767105 701 $aGoldblatt$b Howard$f1939-$01822184 701 $aLin$b Sylvia Li-chun$01822185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967860603321 996 $aRetribution$94388296 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02809nam 22004573 450 001 9910162690103321 005 20251209084636.0 010 $a1-937084-54-X 010 $a1-937084-97-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000941863 035 $a(BIP)043389506 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4810954 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4810954 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11351986 035 $a(OCoLC)852149248 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000941863 100 $a20251209d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFrom a Dead Sleep 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aSan Francisco :$cBQB Publishing,$d2013. 210 4$dİ2013. 215 $a1 online resource (400 p.) 225 1 $aA Sean Coleman Thriller ;$vv.1 327 $aIntro -- TITLE PAGE -- COPYRIGHT PAGE -- DEDICATION -- CONTENTS -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- CHAPTER 13 -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- CHAPTER 20 -- CHAPTER 21 -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- CHAPTER 24 -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- CHAPTER 30 -- CHAPTER 31 -- CHAPTER 32 -- CHAPTER 33 -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- CHAPTER 36 -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- CHAPTER 39 -- CHAPTER 40 -- CHAPTER 41 -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 44 -- CHAPTER 45 -- CHAPTER 46 -- CHAPTER 47 -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- CHAPTER 50 -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52. 330 8 $aThere are times when the truth invites evil, and there are times when the truth can get you killed. Few residents in the secluded mountain-town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about local troublemaker Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime-show addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination. After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account. When his claim is met with doubt and mockery from the people of Winston, Sean embarks on a far-reaching crusade that takes him across the country in search of the dead man's identity and personal vindication. He hopes to find redemption and the truth---but sometimes the truth is better left unknown. 410 2$aA Sean Coleman Thriller 517 $aA Sean Coleman Thriller 610 $aFiction 700 $aDaly$b John A$01438747 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162690103321 996 $aFrom a Dead Sleep$94464640 997 $aUNINA
