«Le Maître a de plus en plus d'humour» is the novel by Mo Yan, published by POINTS in paperback (128 pages, in French).
When the factory goes bankrupt, Master Ding is laid off just one month before retirement, and his world collapses. An unexpected idea restores his hope, though it may be somewhat illegal. With humor and tenderness, Mo Yan portrays an ordinary man caught in the social and economic changes of contemporary China.
Published in 2006, translated from Chinese into French by Noël Dutrait; the cover highlights the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Aimed at the general public, especially those seeking contemporary Chinese literature with humor and social insight.
Mo Yan, born Guan Moye, is a Chinese writer. He gained attention for his 1984 novella, A Transparent Radish, and rose to international fame for his 1986 novel Red Sorghum, the first two parts of which were adapted into the Golden Bear-winning film Red Sorghum (1988). In 2012, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work which "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".
