520    "Set in the post-martial-law era of 1990s Taipei, Notes of
       a Crocodile depicts the coming-of-age of a group of queer 
       misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic 
       affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan's most 
       prestigious university. Told through the eyes of an 
       anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, Qiu Miaojin's 
       cult classic novel is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, 
       vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by 
       an incisive prose stylist and countercultural icon. 
       Afflicted by her fatalistic attraction to Shui Ling, an 
       older woman who is alternately hot and cold toward her, 
       Lazi turns for support to a circle of friends that 
       includes the devil-may-care, rich-kid-turned-criminal Meng
       Sheng and his troubled, self-destructive gay lover Chu 
       Kuang, as well as the bored, mischievous overachiever Tun 
       Tun and her alluring slacker artist girlfriend Zhi Rou. 
       Bursting with the optimism of newfound liberation and 
       romantic idealism despite corroding innocence, Notes of a 
       Crocodile is a poignant and intimate masterpiece of social
       defiance by a singular voice in contemporary Chinese 
       literature"--|cProvided by publisher.
