The first comprehensive study of Chinese popular music in a Western language. Drawing on extensive interviews with singers, songwriters and critics, as well as cultural, sociological, musical, and textual analysis, the book portrays the disparate ways in which China's state-run popular music industry and burgeoning underground rock music subculture represented by Cui Jian have been instrumental to the cultural and political struggles that culminated in the Tienanmen democracy movement of 1989. It also examines the links between popular music and contemporary debates about cultural identity and modernization, as well as the close connections between rock music, youth culture, and student protest.
This is a story – like all stories – about love and hate, friendship and betrayal, life and death, and above all, the kind of world we want to build. Like Wildfire Blazing is the debut novel by Mark Getty – and is an enigmatic look at the way power is exercised, ominously paralleling our current political landscape. Written in a unique, poetic style, imbued with wit and laden with references to ancient Greek and Roman history, this is unlike anything else you will read this year. "We know that tonight we may not see dusk, and that from tomorrow’s dawn our homes may never house us again. But now, right now, we are here in this world of trees, and sun, and wind, and rivers that run to seas, and seas that rise and fall like a beating heart …. We have good and bad and great and small; we have me for now, we have you, forever, I pray. But above all, we have hope. Tomorrow can wait."This book is a strikingly beautiful publication that evokes the quality of a private press publication of another era.
Set in and around Columbus, Ohio and Ohio State, this story constantly twists once Ted and Lewis start freshman year. Lewis, the man about town, pursues Ted's mom. She's OK with that. But her boyfriend isn't. And Ted doesn't know about Lewis and he doesn't approve of the boyfriend. Lewis's father was murdered recently, and the investigation was -- the boys wonder -- amateurish?

Back cover inscription: Two regular guys. Their freshman year, they become best friends. Their sophomore year, they solve a murder. And commit one.
