Mo Yan of China has won the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature.  Mo Yan is most famous for the novel ‘Red Sorghum: a novel of China.’ The New York Times bio states that “through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition.”
