Om denne bog

 

Su Tong, Man Asian Literary Prize-winning novelist and much-beloved author of Raise the Red Lantern, returns with a novel of moral dilemma and depravity in newly-capitalist 1980s China

‘Su is a master of implication... - The Guardian

‘His strokes are restrained but merciless. (Su Tong) is a true literary talent’ - Anchee Min, author of Red Azalea

The painterly quality of Tong’s words is striking’ – The Times

 

Prey, Predator, Predator, Prey.

On this street, the hunters are also the hunted. 

 

The people of China tell of an ancient tale, where the mantis hunts the cicada, unaware of the yellow bird behind it. In a small corner of one of its many cities, a random act of violence sets off a spinning top, entwining the lives of three people.

Baorun, the compulsive bondage expert, is forever aided and abetted by Liu Sheng, a brash troublemaker, to indulge in his obsessions; and the lady Fairy Princess, ever-youthful, becomes the target of the pair’s escalating antics.

As the years pass, many things begin to change, but in the dysfunctional world of a mental hospital at the end of Red Toon Street, just who is prey, and who is predator?

 

Often insightful and occasionally unsettling, Shadow of the Hunter is a memorable tale concerned with guilt, injustice, madness and the struggle not to lose one’s soul to history. It is one of Su Tong’s most acclaimed works, now available in English for the first time.
