Success of the 2012 Nobel Award in Literature. In his latest book, Mo Yan-arguably China's most important contemporary literary voice-recreates the historical sweep and earthy exuberance of his much acclaimed book Red Sorghum. In the country where patriarchal favoritism and the primacy of sons survived multiple revolutions and an ideological earthquake, this epic book is first and most important about women, with the feminine body serving as the book's central metaphor. The protagonist, Mom, is born in 1900 and married at seventeen in to the Shangguan family. She's nine children, only one of whom is a boy-the narrator of the e book. A spoiled and ineffectual child, he stands in stark compare to his eight strong and forceful feminine siblings. Mom, a survivor, is the quintessential strong woman who hazards her life to save several of her children and grandchildren. The writing is picturesque, bawdy, shocking, and imaginative. The structure draws on the essentials of classical Chinese formalism and injects them with extraordinarily raw and surprising prose. Each one of the seven chapters represents a different time period, from the finish of the Qing dynasty up through japan invasion in the 1930s, the civil war, the Cultural Trend, and the post-Mao years. This stunning book is Mo Yan's searing vision of twentieth-century China.
