Hu Feng, the counterrevolutionary leader of a banned literary school, spent twentyfive years in the Chinese Communist Partys prison system. But back in the Partys early days, he was one of its best known literary theoreticians and criticsat least until factional infighting, and his short fuse, made him persona non grata among the establishment.His wife, Mei Zhi, shared his incarceration for many years. F is her account of that time, beginning ten years after her and Hu Fengs initial arrest. She herself was eventually released, after which she navigated the partys Byzantine prison bureaucracy searching for his whereabouts. Having finally found him, she voluntarily returned to gaol to care for him in his rage and suffering, watching his descent into madness as the excesses of the Cultural Revolution took their toll.Both an intimate portrait of Mei Zhis life with Hu Feng and a stark account of the prison system and life under Mao, F is at once beautiful and harrowing.With support from English PENThis book has been selected to receive financial assistance from English PENs Writers in Translation programme supported by Bloomberg.
