Teaching a course I'm calling "Around the world in 40 stories". I have most of the world covered, but I need more short stories from Asia (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Afghan, etc.) I know a lot of novels from the area, but not enough short stories. Hit me with your favorites!

Mo Yan writes very good stories, especially the longer ones. Seagull Books did one called Change that was very good. Also the stories of A Yi are brilliant I think - kind of noir like, he used to be a provincial police detective.

I've only read a couple of novels. A story of his would be good. Have you read a good Ma Jian story?

"Change" is 117 pages, that's stretching it for a short story!
