Yan Lianke is one of the most important, prolific, and
controversial writers in contemporary China. At the forefront of
the "mythorealist" Chinese avant-garde and using absurdist humor
and grotesque satire, Yan's works have caught much critical
attention not only in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
but also around the world. His critiques of modern China under both
Mao-era socialism and contemporary capitalism draw on a deep
knowledge of history, folklore, and spirituality. This companion
presents a collection of critical essays by leading scholars of Yan
Lianke from around the world, organized into some of the key themes
of his work: Mythorealism; Absurdity and Spirituality; and History
and Gender, as well as the challenges of translating his work into
English and other languages. With an essay written by Yan Lianke
himself, this is a vital and authoritative resource for students
and scholars looking to understand Yan's works from both his own
perspective and those of leading critics.
