Yan Lianke's The Four Books (四书) is one of 13 novels that has been longlisted for The Man Book International Prize.

Congrats to Yan Lianke and translator Carlos Rojas, who would split a hefty 50,000 pounds sterling if the book --- unpublished in the PRC, naturally --- wins.

In We must confront our dark past of the Cultural Revolution to avoid repeating it, in which author Yan Lianke is interviewed by the South China Morning Post, he says this about his Four Books:

“I no longer think about it [the censorship]. I wrote The Four Books exactly how I wanted it to be. Whether it could be published [in the mainland] did not concern me when I wrote it,” he said.
