Banned in Beijing: Diary of a bored and spoiled brat
More than 100,000 copies of Beijing Doll were sold in China within the first few weeks of its publication in May 2002.
The author defines the “live” as the “life” from which these samples are pulled, and considers the ways in which the biography of the sample troubles acousmatic.
The book gave birth to a cult following among disaffected Chinese youth who identified with the sentiments of author Chun Sue, then 17.
Now available in English, the semi-autobiographical novel, based on Chun's diaries, chronicles the life of a naive teenager whose fascination with Western pop culture and sex flies in the face of her parents' wishes and societal mores.
Beijing Doll was quickly banned by the Chinese government but continues to be popular on the Chinese black market.
Chun, now 20, has been anointed by some in the Asian media as one of the leaders of a "cruel youth" movement, which is inspired by the movies, books and, of course, rock music of the West.
Her second book, Fun and Game, was banned in China when it made its debut in May 2003.
