“This exceptional volume sheds new and important light on the increasingly incumbent question of the relationship between the literary giant Lu Xun and world literature. Rather than dwell on how the author’s work fits into some pre-existing rubric, the essays in this volume explore new territory in investigating how Lu Xun’s work contributes to the way in which the character of world literature itself must be continually reconstructed and reimagined.”
—Theodore D. Huters, University of California, Los Angeles
