Mei Zhi. F: Hu Feng’s Prison Years.
Hu Feng, líder «contrarrevolucionario» de una escuela literaria prohibida, pasó 25 años en el sistema penitenciario del Partido Comunista Chino. Pero en los primeros tiempos de la China comunista era uno de los principales teóricos y críticos literarios del partido, al menos hasta que las luchas intestinas entre facciones lo convirtieron en persona non grata entre la clase dirigente. Su esposa, Mei Zhi, compartió el encarcelamiento durante muchos años. “F” es su relato de esa época, que comienza diez años después de la detención inicial de Hu Feng, mientras navega por la bizantina burocracia carcelaria del partido en busca de su paradero.
