This excellent collection of essays on China's celebrities is at once an entertaining read and a serious study on the political economy of superstar culture. Many on the list of the famous and infamous are surprising picks, which shows the editors' fun-seeking sensibility and their nuanced understanding of Chinese pop culture. -- Jing Wang, MIT
