Mo Yan's Nobel for Literature

Not Roth, not Dylan, not Zagajewski, not Oates or Murakami, but... Mo Yan! (or, eh... actually Guan Moye) Born in 1955 in Gaomi, Shandong (China) was until now not really widely known, and there are only two books of his translated into Polish. But what is written about the author, is that he has been referred to as "the Chinese answer to Franz Kafka and Joseph Heller" - an interesting mix. His bibliography includes:

"Red Sorghum" (1987), "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" (1996)," "Life and Death are Wearing Me Out" (2006).

The Guardian has written a lot on the subject and I really like the way they write.
