Yan Lianke

From "one of China's most successful writers" (The New Yorker), two masterful novellas exploring the stigma of mental illness, the sacrifices made for family, and the desire to leave behind a personal legacy

Two Novellas

The Years, Months, Days

In a small village in the Balou Mountains, Fourth Wife You despairs of what the future holds for her four mentally-impaired children. A cure for the family curse appears, but it will extract a price so primal and complete that no one can be expected to make it except, perhaps, for a mother. A chilling and relentless tale of family responsibility and a mother's sacrifice, Marrowis Yan Lianke at his best. Translated from the original Chinese by Carlos Rojas

Marrow

Siya S

Superstitious, weird and creepy as hell. This is a story of cannibalism and an endless love and sacrifice of a mother. I kinda like it.
