‘Deserves a place in world literature. His voice will find its way into the heart of the reader, just as Kundera and Garcia Marquez have . . . His imagery is astounding , sensual and visceral. His story is electrifying and epic. It is unlike anything that I’ve read coming out of China in past or recent times' Amy Tan
