A review by micahhortonhallett
The Four Books by Yan Lianke

5.0

This is a beautiful heartbreak of a book. A ravisher that comes with poetry and red blossoms. It will take you by stealth, sing you lullabyes and while you are sleeping it will transform to devour you on waking. The kind of book that will flatten the world and leave your breath catching in your chest with the tears as you sit in a sunny cafe with your 3 year old smiling up at you.
