| Title | Chesnochnye ballady |
| Description | Our glorious Tiantan County, home to the most delicious garlic shoots, is a paradise. But something has gone wrong: local cooperatives are refusing to buy the farmers' bountiful harvest, prices have plummeted, dreams of a better future have been dashed, and disgruntled locals have sacked the county government. What happened after — and what came before — this seemingly out-of-nowhere outrage? And most importantly: who exactly will pay the full price for this garlic rebellion?
Unlike the rather rotten, accursed shoots, "Garlic Ballads" — a 1988 novel that the future Nobel Prize winner in Literature "hastily" wrote in just 35 days, inspired by newspaper articles — remains remarkably fresh and relevant in the new millennium. It is a story about the difficult love for neighbors, family, and both homeland and country. About how our best aspirations lead us to ruin. About justice, which we long for but never find under Heaven. And about how not every criminal judged "according to the law" is necessarily a criminal. |
