"A rip-roaring Swiftian satire from a contemporary Chinese master" follows a rural community's transformation from small village to megalopolis (
The


Economist

).






With the Yi River on one side and the Balou Mountains on the other, the village of Explosion was founded more than a millennium ago by refugees fleeing a seismic volcanic eruption. But in the post-Mao era the name takes on a new significance as the community grows explosively from a small village to a vast metropolis. Behind this rapid expansion are members of the community's three major families, including the four Kong brothers; Zhu Ying, the daughter of the former village chief; and Cheng Qing, who starts out as a secretary and goes on to become a powerful political and business figure. Linked together by a complex web of loyalty, betrayal, desire, and ambition, these figures are the driving force behind their hometown's transformation into an urban superpower.







Brimming with absurdity, intelligence, and wit,
The Explosion Chronicles considers the high stakes of passion and power, the consequences of corruption and greed, the polarizing dynamics of love and hate between families, as well as humankind's resourcefulness through the vicissitudes of life.







"Yan's burlesque of a nation driven insane by money is equally a satire of some of the excesses of the Chinese Revolution." -
The
Wall Street Journal
