Desert Rites

Desert Rites took author Xue Mo twelve years to finish with elaborate effort, and earned him immense acclaim and launched his career as a nationally recognized writer.

Set in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu province, this realistic novel is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters and psychological scope, but also for its detailed descriptions of common people’s lives in an extremely remote village, representative of the challenges faced by peasants in late 20th century rural China.

This full-length novel has later been adapted into the television series Desert Ties, which garnered high ratings and critical acclaim across China.

The English edition of Desert Rites was a collaborative translation by a preeminent American sinologist Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-chun Lin.
