Thousands have read Ba Jin's influential novel Family, but few realize how much he shaped his depiction of 1920s China to suit his story and his politics. In Fact in Fiction, Kristin Stapleton puts Ba Jin's bestseller into full historical context, both to illustrate how it successfully portrays human experiences during the 1920s and to reveal its historical distortions. Stapleton's attention to historical evidence and clear prose that directly addresses themes and characters from Family create a book that scholars, students, and general readers will enjoy. She focuses on Chengdu, China, Ba Jin's birthplace and the setting for Family, which was also a cultural and political center of western China. The city's richly preserved archives allow Stapleton to create an intimate portrait of a city that seemed far from the center of national politics of the day but clearly felt the forces of--and contributed to--the turbulent stream of Chinese history." -- Publisher's description 600 10 $a Ba, Jin, $d 1904-2005. $t Jia. 630 07 $a Jia (Ba, Jin) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01914505 651 0 $a Chengdu (China) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Republic, 1912-1949. 650 0 $a Historical fiction, Chinese $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and history $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Historical fiction, Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958020 650 7 $a Literature and history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000077 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a China $z Chengdu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212121 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stapleton, Kristin, 1963- author. $t Fact in fiction $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2016 $z 9780804799737 $w (DLC) 2016013234 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116030348.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006012452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B7B085A8B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
