The Garlic Ballads
Translated by Howard Goldblatt (Nov 1, 2012)
Mo Yan's most stylistic and imaginative novel The Garlic Ballads, centered on the 1987 "garlic glut" revolt in Paradise county, portrays the lives of Chinese farmers in the 1980s from a humanitarian perspective. The San Francisco Chronicle considered it "a work of considerable political power and lyrical beauty".
