The Bridegroom: Stories by Ha Jin [in aMagazine: Inside Asian America]
Twelve short stories about daily life in modern China, penned by National Book Award winner for Waiting. The collection could be read as a companion title to Waiting, as Ha Jin returns to the same Muji City with another cast of not-unfamiliar characters, including a young woman coming back from the States, a college professor, factory workers, bureaucrats – the various haves and the have-nots who populate this too-quickly changing new world.
