Ninth Building is a fascinating collection of vignettes drawn from the author’s experience growing up during the Cultural Revolution, first as a boy in Beijing and then as a teenager exiled to the countryside. Zou poetically captures a side of the Cultural Revolution that is less talked about―the sheer tedium and waste of young life, as well as the gallows humour that accompanies such desperate situations.
