Pretending to Be in Saigon
by Wang Bang
About This Novel
Ten novels, telling stories about women's struggle, resistance and persistence. Whether they set foot on the British soil, their southern homeland, or the future world, they dare to wade barefoot into the mud of life and live out their own vitality. Wang Bang is a human observer who lives in the city, an empathizer of marginalized groups, and a contributor to the new style of Chinese writing. She is like a mysterious bohemian girl, wandering between Chinese and Western cultures, freely picking up bizarre urban experiences in different contexts, and depicting the loneliness and vigorous and unyielding love of modern women. Wang Bang is so familiar with urban and contemporary life. At a time when critics are clamoring for the absence of urban literature, her novels have no time difference with the present. The spiritual wanderings, intracranial explosions, and tragic and joyous experiences of the little souls of the Internet generation are all revealed through her complex and gorgeous images, spicy and hearty language, and urgent orchestral rhythm.
