Pow! / Mo Yan, translated by Howard Goldblatt. by Mo, Yan, 1955- Seagull Books, 2012. Call #: FICTION MO Subjects Meat contamination -- Fiction.   Men -- China -- Sexual behavior -- Fiction.   Families -- Fiction.   China -- Social life and customs -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780857420763 0857420763 Uniform title:  Si shi yi pao. English English. Description:  386 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Translated from the Chinese. Summary:  "...A benign old monk listens to a prospective novice's tale of depravity, violence, and carnivorous excess while a nice little family drama - in which nearly everyone dies - unfurls. But in this tale of sharp hatchets, bad water, and a rusty WWII mortar, we can't help but laugh... In this bizarre romp through the Chinese countryside, the author treats us to a cornucopia of cooked animal flesh - ostrich, camel, donkey, dog, as well as the more common varieties. As his dual narratives merge and feather into one another, each informing and illuminating the other, Mo probes the character and lifestyle of modern China. Displaying his many talents, as fabulist, storyteller, scatologist, master of allusion and cliché and more, Pow! carries the reader along quickly, hungrily, and giddily, up until its surprising dénouement"--Publisher.
