Publisher's Summary
The acclaimed novel of love and resistance during late 1930s China by Mo Yan, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Spanning three generations, this novel of family and myth is told through a series of flashbacks that depict events of staggering horror set against a landscape of gemlike beauty, as the Chinese battle both Japanese invaders and each other in the turbulent 1930s.
A legend in China, where it won major literary awards and inspired an Oscar-nominated film directed by Zhang Yimou, Red Sorghum is a book in which fable and history collide to produce fiction that is entirely new—and unforgettable.

Tolerable at 1.7x speed
Not sure what it was about the narrator, but it was painful at normal speed. Bumped it up to 1.7x and the story was okay. Bloody. Lots of sorghum. Violent.
Likely a good representation of the horrors of the Japanese occupation. Glad I read it.
