About the Author
In the ninety-ninth district of a sprawling labour camp, the Author, Musician, Scholar, theologian and Technician are undergoing Re-education, to restore their revolutionary zeal and credentials. In charge of this process is the Child, who delights in draconian rules, monitoring behaviour and confiscating treasured books.
The inmates and hundreds of intellectuals just like them -- must meet challenges set by the higher-ups to grow an ever-spiralling amount of wheat per li of land and to smelt vast quantities of steel. The stakes are high they can win their freedom if they are awarded enough of the small red blossoms, medium red blossoms and pentagonal stars given out for effort, obedience and informing on others.
