Brothers

by Yu Hua
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A bestseller in China, Brothers is an epic and wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok.
 
Here is China as we've never seen it before, in a sweeping, Rabelaisian panorama of forty years of rough-and-rumble Chinese history, from the madness of the Cultural Revolution to the equally rabid madness of extreme materialism. Yu Hua, award-winning author of To Live, gives us a surreal tale of two comically mismatched stepbrothers, Baldy Li, a sex-obsessed ne'er-do-well, and the bookish, sensitive Song Gang, who vow that they will always be brothers—a bond they will struggle to maintain over the years as they weather the ups and downs of rivalry in love and making and losing millions in the new China.
 
Both tragic and absurd by turns, Brothers is a fascinating vision of an extraordinary place and time.
