Abstract
Daria Berg's study investigates relationships between the growth of consumer culture, rise of a new kind of urban author, and appear- ance of a new type of commercial publisher in the Deng Xiaoping- Jiang Zemin era. This study uses fictional narratives as source material in order to gain insight into changing perceptions of print culture. Analysis traces the interplay of market forces, political pressures, and artistic expression, both in traditional print and online texts.
