Lead Review

• Book: Beijing Coma
• Location: Beijing (Peking), China
• Author: Ma Jian

“Once in a while – perhaps every 10 years, or even every generation – a novel appears that profoundly questions the way we look at the world, and at ourselves. Beijing Coma is a poetic examination not just of a country at a defining moment in its history, but of the universal right to remember and to hope. It is, in every sense, a landmark work of fiction” (Daily Telegraph )
