Paperback / softback. New. First published in the US in 1990, the year after the uprising of Chinese students at Tiananmen Square, <i>The August Sleepwalker</i> collects all the early poetry of Bei Dao, China's premier poet, now living in exile. <i>The August Sleepwalker</i> is an extremely popular book (30,000 copies sold in China in one month) which was quickly banned by the Chinese government. The collection includes all of the poems Bei Dao published between 1970 and 1986. Bei Dao has lived in exile since the Tiananmen Incident. He is widely esteemed as one of contemporary China's most significant writers. His work is experimental, and subjective, while remaining passionately engaged in the individual's response to a disordered world.
