Publisher's Synopsis

In this study, the author takes a revisionist approach to the Chinese novel, based on his view that it is a fundamentally pluralistic narrative in contrast to the views expressed in recent studies. It identifies chaos theory as a useful way of understanding the rhetorical structure of this and other complex Chinese narratives.
