By Geling Yan, read by Neil Dudgeon. The Nudity Banquet beckons, and Dan sets off with a light and curious heart - but there are surprises in store. This first novel in English by a Chinese journalist is an extraordinary evocation of modern Chinese life, the apparently booming economy, the huge gap between rich and poor, and the omniprescence and corruption of the party. Abridged and produced by Chris Wallis.
