Blending elements of the surreal with carefully observed details of life in present-day Beijing, Jonathan Tel`s short stories offer a rich and highly entertaining guide to the city and its many and varied inhabitants-from a modern-day Monkey King to an equally contemporary indentured servant, from a boy tasting his first cotton candy to a Ming Dynasty princess posting her first online profile. The stories offer a vicarious tour through modern Beijing and a long view of Chinese history. The reader flies through the book, chuckling over one character`s trickery, moved by another`s plight, and horrified at another`s unwitting actions, until reaching the culminating novella, which brings the whole book and its take on China back to the Western reader with a stunning immediacy. Americans` newly minted fascination with China, stoked by the 2008 Olympics, can find both intellectual and artistic satisfaction in this collection.
