Description
Wuhan A Documentary Novel by Liao Yiwu is a gripping account of the crisis that unfolded in Wuhan. In this startlingly topical novel, the author takes us into the heart of the crisis and unpicks the secrecy and cover-up surrounding the outbreak of the public health emergency. A young citizen reporter's attempts to uncover the truth are met with danger and deception, as he documents his experiences live on social media before being discovered and arrested by the security police. The official death figures bear no relation to what is happening in the local crematoria, revealing a complex web of protocols and lies that have been buried. This thought-provoking novel sheds light on the events leading up to the outbreak and the subsequent cover-up, providing a unique perspective on one of the most significant global health crises of recent times.
