Pow!
Pow! | Mo Yan
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
[In this novel by the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Literature], "a benign old monk listens to a prospective novice's tale of depravity, violence and carnivorous excess while a nice little family drama--in which nearly everyone dies--unfurls ... As his dual narratives merge and feather into one another, each informing and illuminating the other, Mo Yan probes the character and lifestyle of modern China."--Jacket.

I always finish books, even if I'm suffering, but unless someone can convince me this gets good after page 108 I'm done. I'm guessing this is what happens when there are no women on the Nobel committee. (Paragraph breaks are also something I love in a book and this is just missing.)
