Shifu You'll Do Anything for a Laugh
by
Mo Yan
Translated by Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-Chum Lin
Eight short stories, written over the past 20 years: surrealistic political fables; ghost stories; tales of failed and perverse love; and stories about the destructive effects of superstition and ignorance.
These stories capture the current concerns of the Chinese: lack of income, famine, and the devastating effects of the one-child policy.
