Life and Death are Wearing Me Out by Mo Yan, translated by Howard GoldblattReviewed by Jennifer Chin
Clever, funny, but most of all, an enlightening portrayal of Chinese village life surrounding the years of the cultural revolution, told by a man who is continually reincarnated as various animals from the Chinese zodiac. Wish I could have read it in Chinese for the full impact of all the plays on language.
