Blending elements of the surreal with carefully observed details of life in presentday Beijing, Jonathan Tels short stories offer a rich and highly entertaining guide to the city and its many and varied inhabitantsfrom a modernday Monkey King to an equally contemporary indentured servant, from a boy tasting his first cotton candy to a Ming Dynasty princess posting her first online profile.The stories offer a vicarious tour through modern Beijing and a long view of Chinese history. The reader flies through the book, chuckling over one characters trickery, moved by anothers plight, and horrified at anothers unwitting actions, until reaching the culminating novella, which brings the whole book and its take on China back to the Western reader with a stunning immediacy.Americans newly minted fascination with China, stoked by the 2008 Olympics, can find both intellectual and artistic satisfaction in this collection.
