The Day the Sun Died by Yan Lianke
challenging
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.75
Moral decay and rampant corruption are explored through a child's voice in a village consumed by darkness and death.
Interesting conception and characters but lagging prose.
It's really hard to figure out whether the translation pulled it down or the original text.
In order to create a muddled-up dreamlike narration, the writer employs refrain a little too much than necessary.
