Description
Frog is a powerful and thought-provoking novel by Mo Yan that explores China's one-child policy through a complex and deeply human story. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society, the book follows a woman who becomes increasingly devoted to enforcing the government's draconian family-planning policies.
As she throws herself into her work, Gugu's actions have devastating consequences for those around her, including her own family. This is a gripping and unflinching examination of the human cost of strict social control, one that will resonate with readers long after they finish the book.
Translated by Howard Goldblatt, Frog is a masterful work of literary fiction that offers a unique perspective on China's modern society. With its taut prose and spiralling invention, this novel is sure to be read for generations to come.
