Beskrivning
Professor Yang, a respected teacher of literature, has had a stroke and it falls to Jian Wan - who is also engaged to Yang's daughter - to care for him. It initially seems a simple duty until the professor begins to rave, pleading with invisible tormentors and denouncing his family...Are these just manifestations of illness, or is Yang spewing up the truth? In a China convulsed by the Tiananmen uprising, those who listen to the truth are as much at risk as those who speak it. Lyrical and heart-breaking, The Crazed is an incisive portrait of modern Chinese society.

Recensioner i media

"Expertly done" Daily Mail "A compelling book... [Jin] has a fine sense of the human scale of history and an eye for the absurd" Guardian "[Jin's] new novel...again demonstrates his literary gifts" The Times "A fascinating tale told with skill and eloquence; a truly wonderful read" Publishing News "The Crazed...is a complicated web of human attachments. Like the best realist writers, Ha Jin sneaks emotional power into the plainest declarative sentences" New Yorker
