Differences and Connections: A Dialogue with Hong Kong Post-70s Writers

This book features seven dialogues between fourteen contemporary Hong Kong writers. Born between 1969 and 1979, these fourteen writers broadly belong to the "post-70s generation." They grew up together during Hong Kong's 1997 transition period, and over two decades of their creative careers, each has developed distinct characteristics. By collecting oral accounts as case samples, this book provides preliminary first-hand research material for the criticism and study of Hong Kong's post-70s writers. The dialogues reveal the writers' literary ethics and worldviews, offering a glimpse into a generation and broadly outlining the landscape of post-1997 Hong Kong literature. Readers can reflect on the changes in Hong Kong's literary and cultural environment and ponder the complex relationship between literature, media, and society.
