Query: Poetic

This translation of Dai Sijie's novel can be poetic at times but, as is common with translated works, it can leave the reader questioning the cultural context of some passages or even sentences.The information about re-education was fascinating but left me wanting more. Sijie's original manuscript probably made more sense in its brevity, but this translation leaves the reader wondering about unfinished business.An excellent addition to a world literature reading list, though.
