Exploring life in this city (or in the frontier) through the viewpoint of a dozen different characters, some simple, some profound, Can Xue's latest novel attempts to unify the grand opposites of life--barbarism and civilization, the spiritual and the material, the mundane and the sublime, beauty and death, Eastern and Western cultures."-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a China $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Culture $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Civilization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spiritual life $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Contemporary Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Asia $x China. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Khakpour, Porochista. 700 1 $a Gernant, Karen, $e translator. 700 1 $a Chen, Zeping, $d 1953- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Canxue, 1953- author. $t Frontier. $b First edition. $d Rochester, NY : Open Letter, 2017 $z 9781940953557 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013009.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012010.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170503024128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31CEEC9A19C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
