Description:
In 1952, on Ligougang, one of the outlying islands of the Penghu archipelago, a mysterious illness broke out, and before long it shook the entire island chain... It turned out that the men of the village, one after another, had come down with a strange disease, and the women were not spared either: the men's balls swelled up, and the women's breasts did too! This story by Wang Xiang-Qi, winner of the First United Literature Fiction Newcomer Award in 1987, was adapted into a film by director Hsu Chin-Jung for its magical-realist allure. Show more
In this short story "Boss Noballs," Wang Xiang-Qi, trying his hand for the first time, drew people's attention with a comic face. For readers accustomed to serious, heavy works that cry out at the top of their lungs, its humor, wit, and briskness, close to traditional comedy, come as a rather warm and joyful sensation. — Shih Shu-Nu
The subject matter of "Boss Noballs" is something I never would have thought of; the way it is handled, the novelty of the subject — unexpected; the comic effect — it achieves it. — Pai Hsien-Yung
Why do I like "Boss Noballs"? Because I feel China truly needs good comic fiction, and we Chinese are not good at writing comic novels. — Li Yung-Ping
