Produktinformationen zu „The Dream of Ding Village “
In this seminal novel, already banned in China, Yan Lianke writes about the AIDS blood-contamination scandal in Henan province, where villagers were coerced into selling vast quantities of blood and then infected with the AIDS virus as they were injected with plasma to prevent anaemia. Whole villages were wiped out in this way, with no responsibility taken or reparation made. The story focuses on one village and one family. This exquisitely crafted novel presents a powerful allegory of the moral vacuum at the heart of communist-capitalist China as it traces the life and death of an entire community.
Autoren-Porträt von Yan Lianke
Yan Lianke was born in 1958 in Henan province, where the blood-contamination scandal that features in this book happened. He is one of China's most established literary writers and his novels and story collections have won many of China's most prestigious literary prizes. He is also China's most controversial writer. His novel Serve the People!, also published by Constable, was banned for satirising the Cultural Revolution and became an underground internet sensation. The Death of Ding Village was stopped in its tracks with a 'no distribution, no sales and no promotion' order. The risk to publishers are now so high that Lianke doesn't know whether he'll be able to find a Chinese home for his next book.
