Description
Mo Yan, a Nobel laureate, crafts a surreal and intoxicating epic set in the fictional Republic of Wine, a land where gluttony and superstition reign supreme. When an investigator is sent to uncover the truth behind excessive feasting in the city of Liquorland, he descends into a disorienting world of bizarre banquets and blurred realities. As his investigation unravels, fantastical tales submitted by an aspiring writer begin to eerily mirror his own increasingly nightmarish experiences. This wild, bawdy, and politically charged novel explores the resilience of imagination against repression, solidifying Mo Yan's status as a master storyteller.
