Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st English Language Edition, 1st printing ; viii, 540 pages ; 25 cm. OCLC 1428479805 and OCLC 38341911; ISBN: 9781611454277, 1611454271 ; LCCN 2007022843 Classification - LC PL2886.O1684 5413 2008 Classification - Dewey 895.1352 ; Mo Yan's new novel opens in hell on January 1, 1950, nearly two years after Mao Zedong's Land Reform Movement overturned the traditional order of rural China. For those two years, Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has submitted Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his uncommon kindness to all who worked his land, to every possible torture to make him admit the charges that led to his execution at the hands of newly empowered peasants. But even after being fried alive--the ultimate torture in hell--Ximen Nao continues to proclaim his innocence. Finally, in disgust, Lord Yama relents and allows him to return to earth, to his former landholdings in impoverished Shandong. But when he arrives there, he finds to his dismay that he has been reborn not as a man but as a donkey, and it is through this animal's eyes that he witnesses the fates of his former family, friends, rivals, and enemies. Subsequent reincarnations find him as an ox, a pig, a dog, a monkey, and finally a large-headed boy with an uncanny memory and a great gift for language. Through the earthy and hugely entertaining perspective of each of these characters--as well as of Mo Yan himself, who frequently interrupts to comment on the events--this brilliant novel narrates the past fifty years of China's tumultuous history. A tour de force of astounding sweep, filled with humor and extraordinary energy, Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out is bound to become a classic of contemporary literature. ; Mo Yan is the pseudonym of Guan Moye, who was born in Gaomi, Shandong Province, China on March 5, 1955. He became a teenager during the Cultural Revolution, leaving school to work first on a farm and then in a cottonseed oil factory. He started writing while he was serving in the People's Liberation Army. His first short story was published in 1981. His works include Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out, Red Sorghum, The Garlic Ballads, Big Breasts and Wide Hips, The Republic of Wine, and Sandalwood Death. He received the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature. ; FINE/FINE. Book.…
