Yen Mo and Mo Yan - Red Sorghum: A Novel of China - The history of a Chinese family as recalled by its youngest member. The story opens with the long and brutal struggle between invading Japanese armies and Chinese peasants in the Sino-Japanese War of the 1920s and 30s. With the defeat of Japan and the rise of the Communists, the focus shifts to the slow but inevitable changes to rural life as China is dragged into the modern age.

| Professional Reviews | Schell, Orville: "...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." |
