Couldn't quite get this novel. Feels like a science fiction/dystopian exercise addressing the famines and failed social engineering experiments in China in the middle of the 20th century. A small village begins experiencing a wave of sleepwalking and mental disease.
One chilling note: the production, storage, and uses of "corpse oil," which is rendered by a family that runs the local crematorium, pressed from dead bodies before they are burned.
Talk not with scorn of Authors- it was the chattering of the Geese that saved the Capitol. Coleridge
