[edit] Biography

Born in a Province, and Family of Farmers, Mo Yan, Originally named Guan Moye,Grew up to be one of the most famous Chinese authors of his (and our) time.
He left school to work in an oil refinery during the cultural revolution, and eventually joined the People's Liberation Army.
Mo Yan, which means "don't speak" in Chinese, was a name chosen to remind the author to be careful what he said, he was known in school to be quite outspoken.

Though Mo Yan is considered throughout the world to be an exceptional writer, his choice as a Nobel Literature Prize Laureate was stirred much controversy.
"Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition.” (qtd. en The New Yorker)

His works are Historic Epics, in which he uses Black humor and often has female characters in nontraditional roles

He was inspired by the Works of Lu Xun.

"Mo Yan’s powerful new novel, “Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out,” contains many such vivid set pieces. His canvas covers almost the entire span of his country’s revolutionary experience from 1950 until 2000... Yet although one can say that the political dramas narrated by Mo Yan are historically faithful to the currently known record, “Life and Death” remains a wildly visionary and creative novel, constantly mocking and rearranging itself and jolting the reader with its own internal commentary."
