Frog is a novel by the Chinese writer Mo Yan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012. The work, published in Spanish by Kailas Editorial, addresses the controversial one-child policy in China through the story of a family doctor in the rural area. The novel presents a unique vision of life in rural China from the perspective of a family doctor, once the family planning policy was established. The author reveals the internal struggle of this doctor between submitting to political guidelines and maintaining low birth rates by practicing abortions on pregnant women with the second child, or following her heart protecting children and seeking prevention of unwanted pregnancies.
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".
