20 Fragments Of A Ravenous Youth

'She's no good, that girl. Much too individualistic'
This is the story of Fenfang who, determined to carve out a life more independent thanher provincial roots, gets a job as a film extra in Beijing. But living a modern life is not as easy as it looks in this tumultuous, messy city.

20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth is a sparkling and wry coming-of-age story about the changing identity of women in contemporary China.
Meet ten of literature's most iconic heroines, jacketed in bold portraits byfemale photographers from around the world.
