Brothers: A Novel

A bestseller in China, Brothers is an epic and wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok.
Â
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 brothersâ€”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.
Â
Both tragic and absurd by turns, Brothers is a fascinating vision of an extraordinary place and time.
