Flash Fiction from Contemporary China

What I'm reading this summer . . .

The Pearl Jacket and Other Stories: Flash Fiction from Contemporary China http://www.amazon.com/Pearl-Jacket-Other-Stories-Contemporary/dp/1933330627/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213579613&sr=8-1

According to the book's description on Amazon, flash fiction is poised to be the most exciting new development in contemporary Chinese literature in a decade.

Some of these contemporary Chinese flash fiction stories originally appeared in major Chinese literary magazines, while some originated on blogs and other digital media.

I'm really looking forward to reading this new collection; lately, the submissions being sent my way have been woefully undeveloped and unpublishable.

Stay tuned for my review of The Pearl Jacket and Other Stories: Flash Fiction from Contemporary China which features 120 short-short stories (from 100 to 300 words each), written by some of China's most dynamic and versatile authors.
