The System
The System is an inspired collection of poetry that considers life just below the surface of the obvious. Delving into the realities of everyday life that are seldom acknowledged but always there, waiting for each of us as we face the challenges and invisible forces in our lives. Author Mario Jiannino looks honestly at the emotions and situations that he encounters, as he considers the impact of the people who have been part of his life experiences. From looking back on past crushes and what they meant to him to tackling the force of his life choices, his powerful poetry resonates with the sheer emotion of want and need and in some cases resignation to who matters to him and who does not. The System offers poetry that is rife with raw emotion guaranteed to make us think about why our lives take certain paths as we wonder what might have been. This poetry collection represents the author's no-holds-barred understanding of the life decisions that he has made for himself.

The Dark Road
From one of world literature's most courageous voices, a novel about the human cost of China's one-child policyFar away from the Chinese economic miracle, from the bright lights of Beijing and Shanghai, is a vast rural hinterland, where life goes on much as it has for generations, with one extraordinary difference: "normal” parents are permitted by the state to have only a single child. Written while Ma Jian traveled the rural backwaters of southwestern China, The Dark Road is the story of one such family, who makes the radical choice to defy the crackdown. A haunting and indelible portrait of the tragedies befalling women and families at the hands of China's one-child policy and of the human spirit's capacity to endure even the most brutal cruelty, The Dark Road is also a celebration of life, and of the fierce beauty born of courageous resistance to injustice.

The Noodle Maker
Every week, a writer of political propaganda and a professional blood donor meet for dinner. They are unlikely friends - one of them tortured by his 'art', the other fat and wealthy from the earthy business of providing spare blood for the citizens of China. Over the course of one especially gastronomic evening, the writer starts to complain about his latest Party commission: the story of an ordinary soldier who sacrifices his life to the revolutionary cause. This is not the novel he wants to write, he tells his friend. Inside his head lives an unwritten book about the people he knows or sees everyday on the streets - people who lives are far more representative of the world in which he lives...

Beijing Coma
E-bookIn Beijing coma overdenkt Dai Wei zijn leven in communistisch China. Als activist tegen wil en dank wordt hij neergeschoten en hij belandt in een diepe coma. Hoewel het voor de buitenwereld lijkt of hij gereduceerd is tot kasplantje, komt alles bij hem binnen - de onvoorwaardelijke zorgzaamheid van zijn moeder en ook de hypocrisie van sommige vrienden. Met veel gevoel voor detail weet de auteur een wereld te scheppen die de lezer een eerlijk en soms onaangenaam beeld van China geeft. Bejing coma is een epos over China, maar nog meer over het Chinese volk - Dai Wei is iemand die gewoon zijn eigen leven wil leiden en daarmee juist het symbool wordt van de vrijheidsstrijd. '
