Summary |
"Poetic and devastating, sensuous and politically acute, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig's China Trilogy explores the forces of global capital as they explode within the lives of everyday people in contemporary China. This volume collects together the three plays in the series, including Cowhig's exploration of the human cost of development in China's socialist market economy (The World of Extreme Happiness), of justice and revenge amidst ecological and economic catastrophe (Snow in Midsummer), and the tale of the trade in blood that brought the AIDS crisis to rural China (The King of Hell's Palace)."--Page [4] of cover. |
