Recognized as one of the most significant works of modern Chinese literature, the Maqiao Dictionary is a multi-layered narrative in the form of a dictionary of a dialect of a fictional locale in southern China, where the narrator was sent for “re-education” during the “cultural revolution”. The dictionary articles add up to a leisurely narrative that introduces the reader to the inhabitants of the village of Maqiao, their traditions, folklore and beliefs, but in general the book reads like a real encyclopedia of twentieth-century China. A very deep and poetic novel, rich in the color of the Chinese hinterland and slightly melted with magical realism.
