Cat Country (novel)
- ... that although author Lao She declared it a failure, Cat Country has been translated into at least six languages? Source: Paradoxically it has been considered as an artistic failure by the author himself [..] It is hard to believe, however, that an artistic failure would have such appeal to readers and translators that it would circulate widely in Chinese and enjoytranslationinto English, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, and Russian, and in some of these languages, more than two translations are available. HO, KOON-KI TOMMY (1987). "Cat Country: A Dystopian Satire". Modern Chinese Literature. 3 (1/2): 71–89
- ALT1:... that Everybody Shareskyism is the prevalent ideology in Cat Country?

- Comment: I've expanded this over the last three days, hope that is OK for DYK. I put it at the date when I started the expansion, please move if that is inappropriate.
5x expanded by Kusma (talk). Self-nominated at 23:03, 21 January 2020 (UTC).
Date, length, hooks and sources all check out. Kusma, there was no page number in the citation for the book used as a source for She's consideration of the as satire a failure. I checked and it appears it was page 298, so I've added that to the citation; please fix it if I"m correct. I would suggest you go through and add page numbers wherever you can for all of the books you use as sources, but I wanted to at least fix the one used for the DYK hook. Otherwise, this is good to go. — Hunter Kahn 14:58, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hunter Kahn, thank you for the review. I'll go and find the page numbers tonight; some of the books are dead tree versions... —Kusma (t·c) 15:17, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
