About “The Garlic Ballads”
The peasants of Paradise County have lived a hardscrabble existence for hundreds of years until a 1987 glut on the garlic market forces them to watch their crop wilt and rot, leading them to riot against corrupt Communist officials. Three intertwined tales of love, loyalty, and retribution unfold, narrated in part by the blind street singer Zhang Kou. It is a 1988 novel.
