A bestseller in China, "Brothers" is an epic and wildly unhinged
black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok.
Here is China as we've never seen it before, in a sweeping,
Rabelaisian panorama of forty years of rough-and-rumble Chinese
history, from the madness of the Cultural Revolution to the equally
rabid madness of extreme materialism. Yu Hua, award-winning author
of "To Live," gives us a surreal tale of two comically mismatched
stepbrothers, Baldy Li, a sex-obsessed ne'er-do-well, and the
bookish, sensitive Song Gang, who vow that they will always be
brothers--a bond they will struggle to maintain over the years as
they weather the ups and downs of rivalry in love and making and
losing millions in the new China.
Both tragic and absurd by turns, "Brothers" is a fascinating vision
of an extraordinary place and time.
