In the novel the narrator speaks in first person, while telling everything about love and war, with a focus on the various people of his extended family. His prose throughout the story is extremely well written. I believe the author of Red Sorghum, Mo Yan, is definitely someone who deserves a lot of credit for writing this book. Proudly recalling the heroic exploits of his grandparents, the first-person narrator begins the story of his family in the year 1939, when his father and grandfather set out to ambush Japanese soldiers on the eve of World War. Relating the story of a peasant family, the novel is about the hardships, love, hatred, and adventures of the peasants of Shandong. ![]() Red Sorghum is a novel that is set in Mo Yan’s Shandong hometown of Northeast Gaomi Township. ![]()
