The Execution of Mayor Yin and Other Stories from the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution by Ruoxi Chen, Nancy Ing, Howard Goldblatt

4.0

A very matter of fact set of stories about life in Cultural Revolution China. Each story demonstrates an insanity of the CR, but does so almost without apology. It's almost as if the author is saying "Here it is, take what you will from it." I enjoyed it very much, but also overall found the stories to be desperately sad.
