A review by rad_onc_reads
Heart Sutra by Yan Lianke

4.0

This was not a light read, but I enjoyed it a lot. It's a great work of contemporary Chinese literature that examines the relationship between religion and secular life, as well as the give and take between the sanctioned religions of China and the State. I loved the descriptions of Beijing and the role this city played in the book as well. I had to push through in some parts, but the unique ending was very memorable. And the papercuts!!! That alone made me glad I picked it up.
