bucket 's review for:
Red Sorghum
by Mo Yan
Brutal, visceral and incredibly detailed descriptions of violence are the bulk of every page, but the steady, rhythmic return to describing the sorghum offers just enough soothing to the reader to dive in again. While some moments were hard to take, overall this was still very readable.
The story is told completely out of order - seemingly as things occur to the narrator we hear about them. This caused some repetition that was a little irritating. Basically, we'd hear a short version of what's going to happen in a few sentences and sometime later get the full description.
