Change by Mo Yan
Personalizes the political and social changes in China over the years in a novella disguised as autobiography (or vice versa).
"If China has a Kafka, it may be Mo YanLike Kafka, Yan has the ability to examine his society through a variety of lenses, creating fanciful, Metamorphosis-like transformations or evoking the numbing bureaucracy and casual cruelty of modern governments." - Publishers Weekly, on Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh "As shrewd as he is captivating, Mo Yan is dedicated to explicating the suffering and resilience of ordinary people and to telling a darn good story." - Booklist, on Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh"
Mo Yan has published dozens of short stories and novels in Chinese. His other works include The Garlic Ballads; The Republic of Wine; Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh; Big Breasts Wide Hips; and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out.
