LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL 2017 With the Yi River
on one side and the Balou Mountains on the other, the village of
Explosion was founded a thousand years ago by refugees fleeing a
volcanic eruption. But in the post-Mao era, the name takes on a new
significance as the rural community grows explosively from a small
village to a town to a city to a vast megalopolis. Behind this
rapid expansion are three rival clans linked together by a web of
ambition, madness and greed. Together they transform their hometown
into a Babylon of modern times -- an unrivalled urban superpower
built on lies, sex and thievery. 'One of the masters of modern
Chinese literature' Jung Chang
