Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out : China Library
ISBN: 9780143800255
Publication Date: 15 August 2016

In this multifaceted tour de force, Mo Yan flexes his skills both as an astute observer of society and history and as a leading practitioner of experimental and imaginative fiction.

Ximen Nao, a wealthy landowner, loses his farm and his life as angry villagers redistribute the land after the establishment of the People's Republic of China. In Lord Yama's underworld, Ximen refuses to admit any wrongdoing even under torture. Exasperated, Yama returns him to his farm as a donkey, the first of many reincarnations. Over the next five decades, Ximen lives through the absurdities and excesses of Chinese history as a donkey, ox, pig, dog, monkey and finally an infant with an unusually large head.

About the Author

Mo Yan was born in 1956 in Shandong, northeastern China. The author of over forty short stories and three novels, he is the most critically acclaimed Chinese writer of his generation, in both China and the West. The film version of the novel, Red Sorghum, won first prize in the Golden Bear Awards at the Berlin Film Festival in 1988.
