This novella length book captures with humor the struggles of the protagonist, Shao Bin, with the socialist work policies during the reign of Mao. Resonances with "The Trial" by Kafka and "Journey to the West" make it an existential exploration of those times. Like the monkey king, every time Shao gets into trouble something turns it around to push him farther along his confrontation with his tormentors. There are some great lines in the book and a satisfying ending. Enjoy.
