Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Muyu, a seventeen-year-old from a small village, came to Beijing for his piece of the dream: money, love, a good life. But in the city, daily life for him and his friends - purveyors of fake IDs and counterfeit papers - is a precarious balance of struggle and guile. Surveying the neighborhood from the rooftop of the apartment they all share, the young men play cards, drink beer, and discuss their aspirations, hoping for the best but expecting little more than the comfort of each other's company. In these connected stories translated from Chinese by Eric Abrahamsen and Jeremy Tiang, Xu's characters observe as others like them - workers, students, drifters, and the just plain unlucky - get by the best ways they know how: by jogging excessively, herding pigeons, building cars from scraps, and holding their friends close through the miasma of so-called progress. "An exploration of the true meaning of 'home,' this short story collection comprises nine vignettes about the lives of four friends who share a small apartment on the outskirts of Beijing" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
