I Love Dollars

An immediate sensation upon publication in China, "I Love Dollars" is a hilarious send-up of Chinaas love affair with capitalism by one of its most gifted new writers. In the title story, a young man, acutely aware of his filial duty, sets out to secure a prostitute for his father, only to haggle his old man out of a good time. Here, gleefully exposed, are the inanities of everyday life in contemporary China.
