[xmca] Chines novelist and Chines politics: Mo Yan



David Ke-- Serendipitously, my wife and I have been reading another novel
by Mo Yan and this review discussing the relationship of his work to
politics came up in the NY Times.

What do you think of his work and the artist/politics issues the review
brings up? The book we are reading, *The Garlic Ballads,* certainly paints
a grim picture.
