The Uninvited
By Geling Yan, read by Neil Dudgeon.
3/10. Dan's career as a fake journalist seems to be picking up steam, but he would much rather just be a banquet bug. Why can't they leave him alone to enjoy his meals in peace?
This first novel in English by a Chinese journalist is an extraordinary evocation of modern Chinese life, the apparently booming economy, the huge gap between rich and poor, and the omnipresence and corruption of the party.
Abridged and produced by Chris Wallis.
