“Imagine a novel written by William Dean Howells together with D. H. Lawrence, updated by Tom Wolfe, and then filmed by Baz Luhrmann, and you’ll have some idea of what Brothers would be like had it originated in the West. Translate that imaginary novel-film into Chinese, and you have the riddling circus of miscues and pantomimes that is Brothers in English…Brothers is a strange and wonderful thing.”

New York Times Book Review


Acclaimed novelist Yu Hua became the first Chinese author to win the distinguished James Joyce Foundation Award. Controversial in his own country for his biting satire, he creates insightful portraits of Chinese society. Step-brothers Baldy Li and Song Gang couldn't be more different. While Baldy is a girl-chasing teen, Song is quiet and studious. The two come of age in a vibrant Chinese culture struggling with constant change.
