A review by renees
Red Sorghum by Mo Yan

2.0

I'd like to put down poor translating as the reason I didn't like this book, but I don't actually think that is the case. The overuse of sorghum and colours as symbolism was heavy-handed, the violence was both tedious and excessive and the parts of the story that were interesting - the inter-generational personal relationships - were told in such a disjointed fashion that it was hard to keep track of.
