Críticas:

"These are expertly drawn sketches of a time and a place, the people thoroughly recognizable." --The Boston Globe

"[China's] transformations and what they leave in their wake have become the central theme of Yu's writing. . . . Many readers consider him China's greatest living author." --The Huffington Post

"Compelling. . . . Precise, elegant prose." --The Economist

"Mesmerizing tales. . . . Showcases this acclaimed writer's mastery." --Elle

"Folktales cast in a modern-day setting. . . . [Yu] uses the soft patter of language to wash away at least some of the hardened surface, and enduring mystery, of human behavior." --Time Out New York

"The stories in Yu Hua's Boy in the Twilight mine the lives of ordinary folks in small-town China." --Vanity Fair

"A Chinese writer noted for his 'popular realism' sketches a portrait of his country through fictional vignettes of everyday life." --O, the Oprah Magazine

"Yu's clear-eyed voice perfectly suits the lives of his characters, whose humanness we recognize, even as it makes us smile or, more often, flinch." --The Plain Dealer

"How much happiness should one expect? How much security? How much adventure? What sorts of kitchen appliances, what kind of husband? . . . The stories in this collection . . . deal with the treachery latent in ordinary human relationships: marriages, friendships, professional contacts, and the bonds between parents and children. . . . Hua's 'hidden' China . . . is one of regular people: not allegorical caricatures or media archetypes, but men and women struggling to sort out their lives in the early years of reform." --Boston Review

"Yu Hua grabs his readers' attention and keeps them guessing and involved till the very end. . . . Boy in the Twilight offers an enduring testimony to the power of the short story and its ability to convey epic themes through the point of a pen." --The New York Journal of Books

"Yu delivers wonderful and vivid character portrayals. . . . He has exposed a darker, painful side of ordinary life in China and invited us to see things as they truly are--frightening both in their simplicity and their strength." --South China Morning Post

"[Yu Hua] hones his recognizable minimalist craft to comic and tragic perfection, suffusing these brutally honest, philosophical pieces with compassion and cruel twists of sucker-punching irony that take the reader's breath away." --Shelf Awareness (starred)

"A standout collection from an international literary superstar." --Kirkus Reviews
"Aficionados of the short form will savor these stories as both adroit literature and a sharp cultural lens. Appreciative readers of such diverse recent collections as Emma Donoghue's Astray and Yoko Ogawa's Revenge will want to add this title to waiting shelves." --Library Journal (starred)

Reseña del editor:
From the acclaimed author of brothers and to live: thirteen audacious stories that resonate with the beauty, grittiness, and exquisite irony of everyday life in China.
