Kenny Kwok-kwan Ng's study illuminates the crisis of writing home in a globalized age by rescuing Li Jieren?s repeatedly revised but never finished river-novel series written from Republican to Communist China, struggling to liberate local memory from the national cum revolutionary currents. The book undercuts official historiography and rewrites Chinese literary history from the ground up by highlighting Li?s resilient geopoetics of writing that decenters the nation by adopting the place-based view of a distant province. 410 0$aSinica Leidensia ;$vVolume 120. 676 $a895.13/52 700 $aNg$b Kenny Kwok-kwan$01610987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824590703321 996 $aThe lost geopoetic horizon of Li Jieren$93938981 997 $aUNINA
