This book analyzes Mo Yan's writings as well as other scholarly interpretations of his writings. When Mo Yan from China was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the term hallucinatory realism was invented to describe his storytelling as a merging of folk tales, history, and the contemporary. The author stakes out a Marxist approach to theorizing the class ideology that underwrites what Mo Yan says he knows of the nebulous terrain where one supposedly experiences moments of transcending or going beyond class and politics in literary sensibility.
