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. 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. As penetrating as Kafka, as outrageously funny as Larry David, and with a slangy swagger all Zhu Wenas own, I Love Dollars is priceless. Here, gleefully exposed, are the inanities of everyday life in contemporary China. 2008
