His other English-language works include The Garlic Ballads , The Republic of Wine, Shifu: You'll Do Anything for a Laugh , Big Breasts & Wide Hips , and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out . In awarding him the Nobel Prize the Swedish Academy said: Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition. Klappentext "In Change, China's foremost novelist Mo Yan personalizes the social and political changes in his country over the past few decades in a 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, the author breathes life into history by describing the effects of larger-than-life events on the average citizen."-- Zusammenfassung A title in which! the author personalizes the political and social changes in his country over the past few decades.
