November-December 2021 Virtual Book Tour for Liu Xinwu’s Award-Winning Novel, THE WEDDING PARTY, Translated by Jeremy Tiang

We hope you will follow our virtual tour on behalf of THE WEDDING PARTY by Liu Xinwu and translated into English by the renowned Jeremy Tiang as we share daily features, book giveaways, excerpts and reviews.

“Covering one 12-hour day in December 1982, Liu’s magnum opus focuses on all aspects of a working-class wedding, from the earliest preparations to the final farewells, while telling intersecting stories about the inhabitants of the Beijing building where the celebration occurs.The novel is stuffed with Chinese history, the specifics of life in 1982 (including architecture, food, and clothing), and philosophical musings on time and what it means to be human. Each character in the Dickensian cast undergoes a private drama: They’re all fully developed people, with complete histories showing the varied and complex impact of Chinese communism, particularly the Cultural Revolution, on individual fortunes….A deep immersion in everyday life in Beijing after the Cultural Revolution.” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred review
