Description
This paper explores the cultural implications of "cyber writing" in China as it is related to the urban fashion of the "petty bourgeois" (xiaozi) frenzy at the turn of the new century. I specifically examine Anni Baobei, one of the most famous cyber writers, and her success as an urban xiaozi symbol through her cyber writing. Though Anni Baobei demystified the deceptively rosy fantasy of cyber/urban escape in her 2000 novella Goodbye Vivan (Gaobei wei'an), she herself nevertheless has been disseminated as a new, stylish, urban figure in both cyber and urban spaces.
