About the novel

Set on the vast landscape of China’s northwestern loess plateau, Mimosa is the moving story of a young man’s experiences after being released from a prison camp. It is the first in a series of novels to be set against the dramatic backdrop of struggle and change in China during the last quarter century.

About the author

Zhang Xianliang was a Chinese novelist, essayist, poet, and former president of the Chinese Writers Association in Ningxia. His most well-known works, including Half of Man Is Woman and Grass Soup, were semi-autobiographical reflections on his life experiences in prison and in witnessing the political upheaval of China during the Cultural Revolution. Zhang Xianliang’s realistic themes and fluid, personal style have made him one of the most popular authors to emerge in China during the early 1980s.
