The Bridegroom

Each of The Bridegroom's twelve stories--three of which have been selected for inclusion
in The Best American Short Stories--takes us back to Muji City in contemporary China, the setting
of Waiting. It is a world both exotic and disarmingly familiar, one in which Chinese men and women meet with small epiphanies and muted triumphs, leavening their lives of quiet desperation through subtle insubordination and sometimes crafty resolve.
In the title story, a seemingly model husband joins a secret men's literary club and
finds himself arrested for the "bourgeois crime"
of homosexuality. "Alive" centers on an official who loses his memory in an earthquake and lives
happily for months as a simple worker; when he suddenly remembers who he is, he finds that his return to his old life proves inconvenient for
everyone.
