The peasants of Paradise County in China have been eking out an
existence virtually unchanged for hundreds of years, until a glut
on the garlic market forces them to watch the crop that is their
lifeblood wilt, rot and blacken in the fields - leading them to
storm the seat of corrupt Communist officialdom in an apocalyptic
riot. Against this heroic backdrop unfold three intricately
interwoven tales of love, loyalty and retribution: between man and
woman, father and child, friend and friend. Banned in China
following Tianamen Square, "The Garlic Ballads" is a bawdy,
mystical and brawling novel that portrays a landscape at once
strange and utterly compelling, and a people whose fierce passions
overflow the rigid confines of their traditions.
