The experiences of the last 60 years in the PRC from the anarchic internal point of view of a mordant observer and participant. Think Lawrence Sterne and Mark Twain, reporting on a developing peasant society.

This book is written masterfully and encompasses a half century with sorrow and wit. Mo Yan is brilliant and the world he creates is both real and fantastical, while never settling for sentiment or fabulism. The only complaint I have about this book is the number of typos, which ranged from missed periods to misspelled words to forgetting page breaks between voices. I imagine Arcade Publishing is to blame and would hope they would take more time with an author whose work will probably win him the Nobel Prize.
