She lives in London and Berlin.Life as a film extra in Beijing might seem hard but Fenfang wont be defeated. She has travelled 1800 miles to seek her fortune in the city and has no desire to return to the neverending sweet potato fields back home. Determined to live a modern life Fenfang works as a cleaner in the Young Pioneers movie theatre falls in love with unsuitable men and keeps her kitchen cupboard stocked with UFO instant noodles. As Fenfang might say Heavenly Bastard in the Sky isnt it about time I got my lucky break?Longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize.A brave young woman negotiates Beijing life in search of love and friendship in the daring new novel by Xiaolu Guo Orange Prize shortlisted author and one of Chinas most successful literary exports (Guardian)A nihilistic Generation Xstyle manifesto... Its impudent handonhip attitude cannot fail to charmFunny and melancholy scintillatingly observed and has a very big heartBoth a personal odyssey and an insightful commentary about modern Chinese society and life itself... Xiaolu Guo is an instinctive humane witness her atmospheric unusually physical narratives are alive and attractively insistent inspired variations on the theme of questA pure and bracing blast of universal youth... I loved it. It shines with the utterly blameless scarily fragile arrogance of youth itself the absolute certainty that death is better than middle ageA breath of the freshest air imaginable. She cuts through the smog of hype and platitude
