Egg on Mao
Egg on Mao: The Story of an Ordinary Man Who Defaced an Icon and Unmasked a Dictatorship is the third book by Chinese Canadian author Denise Chong. Her first publication in over a decade, it was released by Random House Canada on September 29, 2009.〔
As the title reflects, ''Egg on Mao'' will pick up on both the genre (historical non-fiction) and the fascinations of both of Chong's earlier books: ''The Concubine's Children'' (1994) and ''The Girl in the Picture: The Kim Phuc Story'' (1999). The theme of exploring the ordinary in extraordinary circumstances is common to all three of these works. Chong describes her attraction to this theme thus: “Freed from a fear of limitation, the writer also frees the reader, so that what is ordinary is turned, by an act of imagination, into the extraordinary.” 〔Chong, Denise, ed. The Penguin Anthology of Stories by Canadian Women. Toronto: Penguin Books, 1997, p. xii.〕
''Egg on Mao'' tells the story of Lu Decheng, a bus mechanic, who challenged China's autocratic system by defacing a portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong during the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square.〔http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307355799〕
==Genre==
Published in 2009 by Random House of Canada, ''Egg on Mao'' is categorized under current affairs, history, international, and China, not as a fictional book.〔 This book has been criticized for its lack of commitment to a specific genre.〔Nurse, Donna Bailey. “This Protest Was No Yolk.” The Globe and Mail. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/this-protest-was-no-yolk/article1417056/.〕
