Review
"Mo Yan 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." (Amy Tan)
"His idiom has the spiralling invention and mytho-maniacal quality of much world literature of a high order, from Vargas Llosa to Rushdie." (Observer)
"Brilliant, lyrical and intoxicating." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"One of China's leading writers... Mo Yan stands out in China's literary scene. His work rings with refreshing authenticity." (Time)
"A real heir to Lu Xun, a fine Chinese writer deeply concerned with the gate of his fellow men." (Times Literary Supplement)
From the Publisher
‘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
