Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A bestseller in China and a recent contender for the Man Asian Literary Prize, this epic black comedy explores modern Chinese society in a way that has shocked millions. The narrative unfolds over forty years of tumultuous history, presenting a surreal tale of two brothers navigating life in a capitalist landscape. Baldy Li, a sex-obsessed troublemaker, and his sensitive stepbrother Song Gang, form a bond in their youth, vowing to remain brothers despite the challenges they face in love and wealth. Their journey is set against the backdrop of Liu Town, populated by vibrant characters like the self-important Poet Zhao, the opportunistic dentist Yanker Yu, the town beauty turned madam Lin Hong, and the scheming vendor Popsicle Wang. With a blend of sharp humor and a compassionate view of ordinary lives, the author illustrates the transformation from the madness of the Cultural Revolution to the frenzy of extreme materialism. This work is both tragic and absurd, offering a monumental spectacle and a captivating glimpse into an extraordinary time and place.
