В книге подробно анализируется процесс становления новейшей китайской литературы, а также развития ее направлений и жанров – от «ста школ» и «культурной революции» до неореализма и феминистского творчества. Значительное внимание Чэнь Сяомин уделяет проблемам периодизации, связи литературы и исторического процесса, а также рассуждениям о сути самого термина «новейшая литература» и разграничении между ней и литературой «современной». Эти и другие вопросы рассматриваются автором на примере наиболее выдающихся произведений, авторов и школ второй половины XX века.

«Не спи — кругом змеи! Быт и язык индейцев амазонских джунглей» (2008) — рассказ Дэниела Эверетта о его жизни среди индейцев народности пираха в джунглях Амазонии. Молодой лингвист и миссионер отправился в Бразилию со всей семьей, чтобы перевести на язык пираха Библию и обратить индейцев в христианство. Пираха не отмечают смену дня и ночи и не знают частной собственности, в их языке нет числительных, устоявшихся цветообозначений, понятий «право» и «лево» и сложных предложений. Общение с пираха, интерес к их образу жизни, культуре и языку полностью изменили представления Эверетта о науке и религии.
