Title: Timeless Rural China
Product review: I never heard of Mo Yan before he won the Nobel Prize and had read only one or two novels by Chinese authors. The Garlic Wars is about rural China in the mid-198o's and to a large degree it could be about the middle age. Life is cruel, the officials are corrupt, many of the characters are barbaric and the conditions are primitive. It is well written and an eye opener. I will read another of Mo Yan's novels fairl soon.
