Inhaltsangabe

In Change (Bian) China's foremost novelist Mo Yan (b. 1955) personalizes the political and societal changes in his country over the past few decades in a novella disguised as autobiography (or vice versa). Unlike most historical narratives from China, which are pegged to political events, Change is a representative of "people's history", a bottom-up rather than top-down view of a country in flux. By moving back and forth in time and focusing on small events and everyday people, the author/narrator breathes life into history by describing the effects of larger than life events on the average citizen.
