Mistakes by the River [Chinese]

By Yu Hua

"The Mistake by the River" collects four of Yu Hua's highly representative middle grade novels. The book depicts death, blood and violence in a dispassionate tone, and on this basis reveals the cruelty of human nature and the absurdity of existence. Yu Hua uses simple, minutely detailed phrases with an extreme fascination for repetition, time, and length to make his fictional narratives, at once grandiose and full of details, simple and hazy and viscous, gurgle like death and blood in the face of it.
