VOICES IN THE HEART - BRIAN J HOOPER KARTONIERT...

The author undertakes the task of examining a large body of literature produced in Hong Kong to
show it as an integral part of the universal human heritage. This thematic study of
contemporary Hong Kong anglophone literature identifies a series of themes and motifs that can
be drawn upon both as figures for an authentically «Hong Kong» criticism and as lenses through
which to read  contextualize  and interpret the texts that constitute this canon of fiction 
autobiography  drama  and poetry. Focusing on three central texts - Patrick Acheson's
intricately-wrought and provocative Flagrant Harbour  Lee Ding Fai's rags-to-riches story
Running Dog  and Timothy Mo's The Monkey King - Hooper offers a theoretical structure for
analyzing the postcolonial phenomena in the Hong Kong context. This book includes an exhaustive
bibliography of Hong Kong literature.
