...language rights (company policy is not to comment on such issues, Lusby says) - respectable by the standards of international best sellers but an out and out record for China. Lusby believes it will prove a commercial hit, and on the face of it Wolf Totem - rendered by renowned translator Howard Goldblatt - seems to be the kind of bildungsroman that many could relate to, telling of how boy becomes man, and touching on themes of environmental degradation and the conflict between tradition and modernity. Based on Jiang's experiences as a student volunteer living with nomadic Mongol herders in the 1960s...
