The acclaimed novel of love and resistance during late 1930s China by
Mo Yan, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Spanning three generations, this novel of family and myth is told
through a series of flashbacks that depict events of staggering horror
set against a landscape of gemlike beauty, as the Chinese battle both
Japanese invaders and each other in the turbulent 1930s.
A legend in China, where it won major literary awards and inspired an
Oscar-nominated film directed by Zhang Yimou, Red Sorghum is a book in
which fable and history collide to produce fiction that is entirely
new--and unforgettable.
