By Geling Yan, read by Neil Dudgeon. Everyone seems to see Dan as an honest man, which is odd considering he's a fake. But when Ocean Chen calls, Dan feels obliged to go. 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.
