The Banquet Bug
I heard "The Banquet Bug" read on BBC Radio 4 not very long along. It was produced for "Book for Bedtime," I believe, or was it "Book of the Week"? It was funny, ironic, humane and a pitch-perfect portrayal of the China I saw in the late 80's.
For those who don't know about BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, it's an excellent source for literature. (Available online and free!)
Congratulations, Geling. I think it's brave and marvelous that you are writing successfully in a second language.
