| Abstract | Mo Yan's latest novel, Full Breasts and Fat Asses, is the story of an odd family of well-endowed women and their socially inept and sexually impotent men and equally strange relatives. The book portrays Communist Party stalwarts, Kuomintang supporters and bandits in morally neutral terms. Even without the sex, this would have put him on a collision course with conservatives in Beijing. His profile and excerpts about his new book are provided in this article. |
