Writing Disability into Modern Chinese Fiction (2017)
Journal Article

A “pantheon of deformity” emerged in Chinese literature in the 1980s, when writers consciously began exploiting the metaphorical potential of disability to produce subversive literary works. Shi Tiesheng, by contrast, continued to write about disabil... Read More about Writing Disability into Modern Chinese Fiction.
