"Do all of you know how to treat your own children?"
A grotesque, surreal, compulsively readable novella about the degree to which a Chinese mother goes to marry off and otherwise look after her four grown, mentally disabled children. It features a hen-pecked ghost of a husband who had committed suicide two decades earlier, over whom she continues to domineer. Not a particularly politically correct tale, but one that will stick with me for a long, long time. My first Lianke: I must read more.
