NOBELPRISET I LITTERATUR 2012 Bönderna i Paradisets län har länge levt under svåra omständigheter. Regeringen har uppmanat dem att odla vitlök, men överproduktion gör snart grödan osäljbar.

Vitlöksballaderna är en brutal och förgörande vacker roman, om en grupp bönders uppror mot den korrupta och maktfullkomliga kinesiska byråkratin under åttiotalet.
