Second Best Moments in Chinese History

Frank Kuppner

“The 501 quatrains of Second Best Moments in Chinese History” make it seem at first like a repackaged version of Frank Kuppner’s celebrated first collection “A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty (1984)”. But it isn’t: ‘Please note that this is a completely different work, although it is formally identical and very similar in its preoccupations.’ Its tone is different – something to do with maturity and cadencing, which make the laughter and heartbreak more intense, more political.
