Frankfurt/M., Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien. 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. Contents: Hong Kong anglophone Literature - The Matrix and Fusion in Hong Kong anglophone Literature - The Matrix and its Malcontents in Patrick Acheson's Flagrant Harbour - Lee Ding Fai's Running Dog - Timothy Mo's Signifying Monkey King - Bibliography.
