Lenin's Kisses | Yan Lianke

Pickpick

This book describes the ups and downs of a small community of crippled, deaf, or blind in a remote Chinese village. One day, the local political mogul proposes to them to set up a touring show to raise funds in order to buy from the Russian the embalmed corpse of Lenin and transform it into a tourist attraction. All goes well until human nature shows its darker sides. At times a bit slow, but nice read with a critical look at modern day China.

@MinDea & @Robothugs Thanks for the #favoritebookgiveaway I remember being blown away by Cutting for Stone. I couldn't believe that an actual doctor could write like that.
