A review by msaari
Seitsemän elämääni by Mo Yan

3.0

A magical tale of a family and the Chinese history from 1950s to 2000, told by the main protagonist, who is killed on the page two and then reincarnated as a donkey, an ox, a pig, a dog, an ape and finally as a human. A reader is taken through all the different reforms and revolutions, with plenty of amusing metafiction on top. An interesting story, that is.
