Summary: The Best Book from China
Comment: This is the best book I've ever read. Yu Hua is a master literary craftsman. His books have been bestsellers in China for more than a decade and have been translated into many languages. Now, finally his Chronicle of a Blood Merchant appears in English for the first time along with his first novel, To Live. The story chronicles the vicissitudes of an ordinary Chinese man living a life of quiet - and not so quiet - desperation. He struggles to overcome his chronic poverty by selling his blood to the local hospital, enabling him to overcome one finacial crisis after another. The story sweeps the reader away and drops him right smack into the middle of the Chinese countryside. We not only see the intricacies of Chinese society but the genesis of China's modern AIDS crisis. A masterful tour de force - 5 stars!
