This "blistering satire" of modern China was a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize and a
New York Times Editor's Choice novel (
Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Lenin's Kisses is set in modern day China, in the village of Liven. Nestled within the Balou Mountains, the people have enough food and leisure to be content-until their crops and livelihood are obliterated by a snowstorm in the middle of summer. Then a county official arrives with a peculiar plan. He wants to use the villagers to start a traveling performance troupe. Next, he'll take the profits and buy Lenin's embalmed corpse from Russia and install it in a mausoleum to attract tourism. But the success of the Shuanghuai County Special-Skills Performance Troupe comes at a serious price.
Named a finalist for the 2013 Man Booker International Prize,
Lenin's Kisses is "a satirical masterpiece" (
Kirkus) that was on Best Book of 2012 lists from the
New Yorker, MacLeans, and
Kirkus, and was also a
New York Times Editors' Choice.
