Eric Mo Yan just won the Nobel prize.

I'd never heard of him, but I took a peek inside "The Republic of Wine" and liked what I saw.

Can anybody familiar with his work recommend a book of his to start with?

Toohead 《Red Sorghum》is his most famous novel in China.I read it when I was in high school.This is a great book.My friend thinks that the《Big Breasts and Wide Hips 》is his best.
