The Chinese Book Market December
Paper Republic April , The Chinese Book Market December Party Congress Dominates Published materials related to the th National Congress of the CPC, held in November, continue to skew market statistics. The non-fiction charts, in particular, are dominated by political reports and related Party publications, much of which are required reading (or at least required purchasing) for government offices around the country. The People’s Publishing House, sole authorized publisher of these materials, saw a corresponding bump in business. Mo Yan Fever Cools The last few months of saw a huge leap in sales of literature, mostly related to Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize win. Complete sets of his works, published by the Shang- hai Arts & Literature Publishing House and the Writers Publishing House, continued to sell very well, though numbers are falling. Foreign Literature Elements of the fantastic are much in evidence: popular foreign fiction this month includes Life of Pi and The Hobbit, both riding high on movie tie-ins; two older works by Gabriel García Márquez (the newly-authorized translation of One Hundred Years of Solitude is rising on the charts); J.K. Rowling’s non-fantastic novel, A Casual Vacancy, is losing ground. Economy a Hot Topic One particularly strong showing this month was Credit Factory, written by economist and banker Chen Shi. Chen reflects on his experiences making business loans to small and medium enterprises during his years in banking, much of it working for the Hong Kong and Macau branches of the Bank of China. The tendency of Chinese banks to lend only to large state-owned enterprises is a noted stumbling block in the growth of China’s civil-sector economy, and in this book Chen outlines how banks can break this habit and help China’s smaller economic entities flourish.
