Description

A surreal and wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society, Brothers is a sweeping panorama of forty years of rough-and-rumble history. Yu Hua's tale follows two comically mismatched stepbrothers as they navigate the ups and downs of rivalry in love and making millions in the new China. Their bond is tested over the years as they struggle to maintain their relationship amidst the madness of the Cultural Revolution and the equally rabid materialism of modern times. Both tragic and absurd by turns, Brothers offers a fascinating vision of an extraordinary place and time. With its unique blend of comedy and social commentary, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of modern Chinese society.
