The Republic of Wine
by Mo Yan, and translated by Howard Goldblatt
New York: Arcade Publishing
Stated First North American Edition, 2000. First printing.
SIGNED by Mo Yan on the half-title page, and signed by Howard Goldblatt on the title page, just under his printed name.
Condition: Minimal apparent shelf wear; a beautiful, very presentable copy. Interior is clean and neat! Binding is firm.
wiki: The Republic of Wine received near unanimous praise from Western literary critics. Phillip Gabone of The New York Times wrote, “The Republic of Wine is a fantastical postmodernist hodgepodge that borrows elements from kung fu novels, detective thrillers, traditional Chinese tales of the supernatural, American westerns and magic realist fiction. Some readers may find, as Mo says of one of the student's stories, that this novel suffers from "overly loose organization and relative lack of authorial restraint," but there's no denying that in his juxtapositions of the horrific and the comic, the lyric and the scatological, Mo is poking fun at China's post-Mao reformist era while letting out a wrenching cri de coeur for the lost soul of his country.”
Mo was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature.
