«Canvis» is the literary novel by Mo Yan, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (112 pages, in Catalan).
Mo Yan portrays the social and political changes of recent decades in China through a narrative with the appearance of an autobiography. The focus is on the daily life of ordinary people: childhood, love, and how major historical events shape the lives of anonymous citizens, in a story that goes from the bottom up.
Fifth title in the 'What Was Communism?' series. Catalan translation by Carles Prado-Fonts; original title: '变 (Biàn)'. The author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012.
For readers interested in contemporary Chinese fiction and in stories that show the effects of history on everyday life.
Mo Yan, born Guan Moye, is a Chinese writer. He gained attention for his 1984 novella, A Transparent Radish, and rose to international fame for his 1986 novel Red Sorghum, the first two parts of which were adapted into the Golden Bear-winning film Red Sorghum (1988). In 2012, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work which "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".
