In these stories, we see the breathtaking range of Mo Yan's vision-which critics have compared to those of Tolstoy and Kafka. The stories range from the tragic to the comic, though Mo Yan's humor is always tinged with a shade of black. They embody, too, the author's deep and abiding love of his fellow man, equaled only by his intense disdain of bureaucracy and repression-despite which his fiction is never didactic. Satire, fantasy, the supernatural, mystery: all are present in this remarkable and intensely enjoyable volume.— The release of award-winning director Zhang Yimou's major film adaptation of the title story (Happy Times) in summer 2002 heightened the visibility of both the author and this collection.— This paperback is being published simultaneously with the author's mangum opus, Big Breasts and Wide Hips-a return to the sweep and ambition of his bestelling Red Sorghum-which will receive major critical acclaim and further raise Mo Yan's profile in the States.— One of the stories in the volume serves as a companion piece to the author's hugely popular Red Sorghum.
