- W35800181 abstract "Imagine A Modest Proposal turned real. Jonathan Swift had sug gested that the Irish poor sell their superfluous babies for a new cui sine to tease the jaded palates of the English ruling class. Imagine if some 270 years later at the other end of the world, the local despots of Liquorland County in The Republic of Wine run a Culinary Academy in Brewers College, and imagine further that they create a culinary mir acle—braised babies. Modernization turned nightmare. Mo Yan (born Guan Moye in 1956) first made his name through Red Sorghum, a novella which was adapted for film and won a Berlin Film Festival Prize in 1988. Of peasant background with army expe rience, he had started writing while in the army. Among the avant garde writers emerging in the eighties, Mo Yan is best known for the family sagas based on his own native Gaomi County in north China. Mo Yan belonged to the fortunate generation of young writers who took advantage of the reforms of the 1980s to free themselves from the grip of Maoist realism. Blending influences of Garcia Marquez and William Faulkner, Mo Yan is obsessed with family myth as alternate versions of history. Often relying on surreal images and extreme sub jective descriptions, Mo Yan s world is dominated by violence and pas sion. Generation after generation of peasants are plagued by poverty, ignorance, lethargy, cowardice, selfishness, hypocrisy, cruelty, supersti tion and corruption, yet these men—and women, too—were healthy and vigorous. Propelled by instinct intimately connected to nature, their lives seem especially vulnerable to social forces beyond their con trol. Mo Yan's many works in English translation, such as Autumn" @default.
