	Books \| Beneath the roof of the world
		In 1983, Ma Jian was living in Beijing as a photographer and painter in a circle of dissident friends - young men and women who snatched moments of sexual licence, exchanged precious copies of foreign books, and discussed each other's work in tiny gatherings that were reported by the neighbours and raided by the police.
		Ma Jian embarked on his journey to evade arrest himself and on publication of Stick Out Your Tongue he was held up as an example of both "spiritual pollution" and "bourgeois liberalism".
		Ma Jian escaped to the high plateau to wander among nomads and monks in search of spiritual truth, but discovered instead poverty and the degradation of a spiritual tradition all but destroyed by political persecution.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Interview: Ma Jian
		Ma, now 50, was 14 at the time and grew up with the legacy of persecution and fear this gave to his family.
		Ma's books are still banned in China, though Red Dust was published under a pseudonym, but he is now free to enter the country and plans to return this summer to introduce his 26-year-old daughter from his first marriage to his and Drew's baby son, Jack.
		Ma's writing shines a light that is both humane and angry into some of the dustiest corners of a closed and often forgotten society.

		Ma Jian lives as a virtual mendicant at times, surviving by his wits, odd jobs, and the occasional replenishment of funds from sales of his short stories facilitated by his network of urban friends.
		Ma Jian's quest recalls the striving to escape conformity and rigidity in the Cold War era characterized by the American Beat generation and memoir/travelogues such as Kerouac's On the Road.
		After three years of a vagrant life, Ma Jian feels that he has become a stranger to himself, and decides that he is eager to live again in big cities that have hospitals, bookshops, and women.

		Ma Jian's short stories appear in English 19 years after being denounced as "spiritual pollution" in his native China.
		Ma writes brilliantly of the profound solitariness of Tibet's remote desert regions and mountainous plateaux, but is equally sure with perverse or perilous interiors.
		Ma's Tibetans are all-too-human "desiring machines"; his stories sketch multi-generational incest, routine sexual abuse and ritual rape.

		A key player on the team was Ma Jian.

	Lili: a Novel
		Each book's antihero—Gao or Ma— has romantic encounters with various women, meets people from all walks of life and struggles to survive the harsh conditions of both rural travel and government repression.
		Journeying across deserts, over mountains and through icy rivers, Ma goes "as far away as possible, scatters (himself) across the wilds, spends (his) newfound freedom" in a country where free movement itself is a luxury.
		Near the end of his tale, Ma tells a young man on a tour bus: "I live in Beijing myself, in a small house on Nanxiao Lane." This is the only moment in the book that he sounds homesick for a place he increasingly realizes will never be home again.

	wbur.org Arts - Books - Surreal Corruption
		Ma's vision of his former homeland may be unremittingly bleak, but he spices it with just enough humor and absurdity to keep the reader afloat on his tide of despair.
		Before his escape to the West, Ma Jian had been particularly well-placed to calibrate the gaps between the Communist Party's version of reality and life on the streets.
		Jian's account of his journey, "Red Dust," is not as bleak as "The Noodle Maker," but offers an unsparingly candid portrait of the desperate poverty and squalor in which many of his countrymen live.

		In 1983, Ma, tired of life in a China that, he writes, "feels like an old tin of beans that, having lain in the dark for forty years, is beginning to burst at the seams," grew his hair, quit his job, and took to the road.
		Still, Jian offers a revealing, riveting portrait of a Chinese citizen who seeks truth and honesty in a society in which such a quest can be grounds for punishment.
		Ma Jian's writing is merely the Red Dust in the wind from Gao's Soul Mountain.

		Exactly 15 years later, Ma Jian is on the phone from London, speaking to me in a soft, pellucid flow of Mandarin.
		The first time Ma fled Beijing was when he escaped certain arrest in 1983 to roam on foot for years through his country’s rural hinterland.
		Ma is one of China’s finest writers in exile; reading through his novel’s violent satire, you can still picture Ma taking off 20 years ago into the Chinese wilderness.

		Having "boarded the express train of the Open Door Policy," the characters in Ma's (Red Dust) satisfying, satirical novel now find themselves disembarking in a land caught between the "bourgeois liberalism" of the West and the Communist strictures of the East.
		Ma's spare meal of a novel provides an excellent counterpoint to the sumptuous lyrical banquet Soul Mountain by Nobel Prize winner and fellow expatriate Gao Xingjian.
		Ma Jian, an immigrant Chinese dissident and author of the acclaimed travel book Red Dust (2001), now turns to mordantly satirical fiction to capture the grim paradoxes of late-twentieth-century China.

		Echoing Gogol and offering an urban variation on the themes of Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian, Ma Jian presents a bleak yet compelling vision of an aberrant society in which people are caught in the grip of a capricious and treacherous power and starved for kindness, beauty, and reason.
		Ma Jian's The Noodle Maker is a collection of very loosely connected stories narrated by a professional propogandist (or "professional writer") to his friend and confidant, the 'professional blood-donor' over an elaborate dinner the blood-donor provides.
		The stories are about the people the writer observes on the street and knows professionally and includes such diverse characters as a painter who claims to have had a talking three legged dog to a 'street writer' who provides his services to lovesick teenagers wanting to impress their sweethearts with love letters of deep feeling.

	A dissident visits Tibet, sees past its red curtain / Beautiful, brutal, by no means Shangri-la
		Jian provides many matter-of-fact accounts of how easily death can come in Tibet's desolate plateaus, such as a one-liner about a nomadic family moving camp during a drought whose youngest daughter had simply "fallen into a ditch and died while riding her yak up this hill."
		The Tibet that unfolds in these pages is a cruel and primitive place, and Jian insists that "Tibetans can be as corrupt and brutal as the rest of us." But for all that, this book is not at all an apologia for the Chinese occupation.
		In the end, Jian means no insult by showing us the messy reality of the Tibet he encountered as a self-described "Chinese drifter" on the lam in the mid-'80s.

		Shortly after his return to Beijing, Ma fled mainland China for Hong Kong, and he now lives in London.
		Ma's stories, like many of those by his Chinese avant-garde contemporaries, veer toward the ghoulishly fantastic: A young crematorium owner sends his living (and willing) mother to the funeral fires; an actress feeds herself to a tiger onstage; a three-legged dog eloquently criticizes the inhumanity of human beings.
		This morbid exaggeration is partly for dark comic effect and partly to dramatize a world in which the rules of normal human life have been stripped away.
