In \"Disparity,\" for example, Yu Hua illustrates the expanding gaps that separate citizens of the country. In \"Copycat,\" he depicts the escalating trend of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And in \"Bamboozle,\" he describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, he suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society. Witty, insightful, and courageous, this is a refreshingly candid vision of the \"Chinese miracle\" and all of its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYu Hua is the author of four novels, six collections of stories, and three collections of essays.
