Most studies of Chinese literature conflate the category of the future with notions of progress and nation building, and with the utopian visions broadcast by the Maoist and post-Mao developmental state. The future is thus understood as a preconceived endpoint that is propagated, at times even imposed, by a center of power. By contrast, Tales of Futures Past introduces "anticipation"—the expectations that permeate life as it unfolds—as a lens through which to reexamine the textual, institutional, and experiential aspects of Chinese literary culture from the 1950s to 2011. In doing so, Paola Iovene connects the emergence of new literary genres with changing visions of the future in contemporary China. This book provides a nuanced and dynamic account of the relationship between state discourses, market pressures, and individual writers and texts. It stresses authors' and editors' efforts to redefine what constitutes literature under changing political and economic circumstances. Engaging with questions of translation, temporality, formation of genres, and stylistic change, Iovene mines Chinese science fiction and popular science, puts forward a new interpretation of familiar Chinese avant-garde fiction, and offers close readings of texts that have not yet received any attention in English-language scholarship. Far-ranging in its chronological scope and impressive in its interdisciplinary approach, this book rethinks the legacies of socialism in postsocialist Chinese literary modernity.

OF FUTURES PAST a Novel by JULIAN BOUND 'Looking to her feet as white light faded around her, fine grained sands now replaced the carpeted flooring of New York gallery. No panic came to her on gazing out onto a view of calm seas where treasured artworks had stood only moments before. Listening to the gentle lap of waves she smiled out onto a distant horizon and then to the man beside her, his hand still held in hers."Isn't it beautiful," he said, his words as much statement as question.' Following her death, a young New York art restorer finds herself on a beach accompanied by George, her spirit guide. Explaining she now resides between lives George guides her to a cliff top library. Inside she finds a book containing all the past lives she has ever lived. Seated together she reads of her past lifetimes lived throughout the centuries. Be it an artist's model of 16th century Renaissance Italy, a geisha of ancient Japan, or a Tibetan Buddhist monk living in the foothills of the Himalaya, each lifetime holds answers towards the progression of her soul, as seen in those she meets with through the years, be them friend or foe, or ultimately the soul mate she encounters throughout her many lifetimes. Between uncovering the events of her previous lives, George explains the reasons for the situations that unfolded within her past, his explanations bringing forward an awareness of the characteristics unique to her own soul and of the trials she at times has been faced with. From Julian Bound, the author of 'The Geisha and The Monk', 'Subway of Light' and 'A Gardener's Tale', 'Of Futures Past' is a story of discovery, offering an insight into how our actions in one lifetime can effect moments in those to follow, shown with subtle teachings of love and compassion. 'A moment, a respite from what has been, of what is to come... And so, a new lifetime begins.' Filled with excitement and wonder, a journey through lifetimes passed. Beautiful.

Long ago, a king fought a war against a race of supernatural beings known as Old Ones. The battle was long and costly, but in the end the Old Ones were "driven off the face of the earth" and locked away. However, the war was neither won nor lost, as the spell meant to contain them was not permanent. Centuries passed and the king who had taken on the title of the Hunter faded into the pages of legend, to return, it is said, when the Old Ones break free once again. As a child, Malora Osonne's parents told her the story of the Hunter but she regarded it as just a Faerie tale until strange things start happening that logic has no answer for and she is forced to consider that the legend might be true. But legends tell only half the story and she will discover that she has a much greater role to play in this twisted drama of desire, revenge and madness than merely inventor's daughter.
