From the award-winning author of Waiting and War Trash: an urgent, timely novel that follows an aspiring author, an outrageous book idea,and a lone journalist’s dogged quest for truth in the Internet age.

New York, 2005. Chinese expatriate Feng Danlin is a fiercely principled reporter at a small news agency that produces a website read by the Chinese diaspora around the world. Danlin’s explosive exposés have made him legendary among readers—and feared by Communist officials. But his newest assignment may be his undoing: investigating his ex-wife, Yan Haili, an unscrupulous novelist who has willingly become a pawn of the Chinese government in order to realize her dreams of literary stardom.

Haili’s scheme infuriates Danlin both morally and personally—he will do whatever it takes to expose her as a fraud. But in outing Haili, he is also provoking her powerful political allies,and he will need to draw on all of his journalistic cunning to emerge from this investigation with his career—and his life—still intact. A brilliant,darkly funny story of corruption, integrity, and the power of the pen, The Boat Rocker is a tour de force of modern fiction.

喜剧效果不错

读起来倒是轻快 - 很不一样的哈金呀

295|2016winter break，在小哥那看的，觉得作者直男癌，书也写得非常不好看

作者提出了很多观点，大部分是政治观点，估计不会有中译本了，读完只觉得荒谬，一篇报道事实真相的文章怎么就影响两国关系了，事实上舆论可以被操纵，文中的记者一直被威胁，然后第一次第二次第三次，威胁都没有落到实处，在最后那一次，他被fire了，因为报社被country收购，然后他们竟然还想着收购纽约时报，真是令人无语至极
