Most Lu Xun scholars... Simply cannot jettison the traditional baggage of 'LuXunography' which over the years has grown stale. Thus Madmen and Other Survivors comes like a whiff of fresh air. It will certainly be a challenge, and I for one would like to use it in my courses and recommend it to other scholars and students. -- Leo Ou-fan Lee

Madmen and Other Survivors: Reading Lu Xun's Fiction attempts to put the short stories of this outstanding Chinese writer - whose work is central to understanding the May Fourth movement in China - into a broad context of Modernism.
