Media Reviews
Mo Yan . . . brilliantly and fondly re-creates life with visceral writing that reeks of gunpowder, blood, and death. --The New York Times Book Review
Praise for the work of Mo Yan:
Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garc a M rquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition. --The Nobel Prize Committee
Mo Yan's voice will find it's way into the heart of the American reader, just as Kundera and Garc a M rquez have. --Amy Tan
