In this collection of four stories, Mo Yan unveils the abuses of an oppressive society and writes of those who suffer, physically and spiritually, under its yoke. The stories here exemplify Mo Yan's range of writing styles: from tragedy to wicked satire, from magical fable to harsh realism. His narrative is concise and undidactic; his imagery sharp and sensual.
