Reviews
Bonnie S. McDougall, author of Fictional Authors, Imaginary Audiences: Modern Chinese Literature in the Twentieth Century:
“Milestones on a Golden Road could hardly be more timely or welcome. The core subject, the fiction of the early PRC, is important in its own right, but until recently it has been treated inadequately or ignored. King, already recognized as a leading authority of contemporary fiction, has created a robust framework for the consideration of eight major novels from four key periods in modern Chinese history. This significant contribution to modern literary criticism and history will stand as a classic in its field for years to come.”

Xiaomei Chen, author of Acting the Right Part: Political Theater and Popular Drama in Contemporary China:
“Milestones on a Golden Road presents ‘red classics’ in fiction before, during, and after the Maoist socialist period – a newly emerging field of inquiry. King’s scholarship is excellent, and he makes good use of the primary and secondary materials, in English and Chinese. His accessible and lively book will be an important text for scholars and students of modern Chinese literature, history, and culture.”
