"Yan Lianke is a renowned writer of novels, short stories, and essays who became prominent in contemporary Chinese literature through works of fiction and literary criticism in the late 1990s. Yan's writing is provocative and nuanced, engaging Chinese history to highlight the reality of life for the people of China and to analyze the country's contributions to a worldwide literary canon. Working against increasing publication restrictions in China, Yan has sought out publishing opportunities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and in translations from presses around the world. Sound and Silence, inspired by a series of lectures Yan gave during a North American tour and a 2014 acceptance speech for the Franz Kafka prize, encapsulates the author's groundbreaking perspectives on life, writing, and literary history. In these essays, Yan Lianke discusses how he understands his literary project, and particularly the role of literature as social commentary"--
