The Day the Sun Died by Yan Lianke

3.0

Very pretty language, a very well-translated book. In terms of a story, it is wandering and dream like, which was the point, but a bit tedious. Perhaps as an American, I didn't find it ban-worthy, but I guess we are used to making fun of our leaders, so the very subtle slights about Xi's Chinese Dream seemed obvious enough to detect, but not terribly inflammatory.
