| Description: |
A title in which, the author personalizes the political and social changes in his country over the past few decades. By moving back and forth in time and focusing on small events and everyday people, it breathes life into Chinese history by describing the effects of larger-than-life events on the average citizen. |
| Synopsis: |
In "Change", Mo Yan, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Literature, personalizes the political and social changes in his country over the past few decades in this novella disguised as autobiography-or vice-versa. Unlike most historical narratives from China, which are pegged to political events, "Change" is a representative of "people's history," a bottom-up rather than top-down view of a country in flux. By moving back and forth in time and focusing on small events and everyday people, Mo Yan breathes life into history by describing the effects of larger-than-life events on the average citizen. |
