Industry Reviews
"...Mo Yan deserves a place in world literature. His imagery is astounding, sensual and visceral. His story is electrifying and epic. I was amazed from the first page. It is unlike anything I've read coming out of China in past or recent times. I am convinced this book will successfully leap over the international boundaries many translated works face....This is an important work from an important writer."
Amy Tan

"...So unlike any other piece of contemporary Chinese literature that, were it not so clearly set in China, one might imagine it to be a part of another place and time....With this work Mo Yan has helped his country find a new, powerfully convincing literary voice."
Orville Schell
