I love postmodernism, so I got a kick out of this passage from Ma Jian's Beijing Coma:

A few days later, the People's Literature magazine published Stick Out Your Tongue, an avant-garde novella by a writer called Ma Jian. The Central Propaganda Department denounced it as nihilistic and decadent, and ordered all copies to be destroyed, then proceeded to launch a national campaign against bourgeois liberalism. ...

The postmodern kick is given extra heft because that's what really happened when Jian published Stick Out Your Tongue:

In 1987, the five stories of Stick Out Your Tongue made their debut in a small Chinese literary journal and were immediately outlawed by the Chinese government. Jian's writing was deemed "vulgar" and "obscene," and he was charged with representing an "image of Tibet ... that has nothing to do with reality." While the threat of imprisonment forced him into exile, black-market copies of the stories circulated, and Jian became famous as both writer and dissident.
