Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh By Mo Yan, Howard Goldblatt

Methuen Publishing Ltd

Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh is a collection of eight compelling short stories written over the past twenty years: surrealistic political fables, ghost stories, tales of failed and perverse love, and stories about the destructive effects of superstition and ignorance. These stories capture the current concerns of the Chinese: lack of income, famine, and the devastating effects of the one-child policy. One particular get-rich-quick scheme involves an unemployed man who decides to convert an abandoned bus into a venue for private trysts which will enable him to charge lovers by the hour.\n\nShifu, You'll do Anything for a Laugh\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nShifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh is a collection of eight compelling short stories written over the past twenty years: surrealisti;
