After a decade of cultural starvation, book lovers in China have suddenly been able to buy four novels and two poems that had long been banned; five other proscribed works have been announced for future publication. The return to grace of these forbidden works is part of the continuing campaign against the Gang of Four, headed by Mao Tse-tung's widow Chiang Ch'ing. At a Peking literary forum...
