Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A lyrical coming-of-age novel set in rural China during the Cultural Revolution.Before he can understand the slogans crackling from the village loudspeaker, a boy learns the true language of his world: hunger at the family table; fear in the pauses of adults; and the bright, fragile pleasures of games, songs, and stories. In the mountain village where he grows up, political campaigns cross the threshold of home, and a father's past can become a danger to everyone he loves.As the boy moves through a childhood of poverty, sibling rivalries, village ritual, and public violence, he begins to understand how history enters a life-not as an abstract lesson, but in the body: in shame, silence, memory, and the need to be seen. Then Teacher Xu, a quarry blaster with hidden books and a private devotion to poetry, opens a different path: a language capable of holding what cannot safely be spoken.Boyhood Verses is both an intimate portrait of a child's awakening and a haunting account of how political fear reshapes a family and a village. Rich in sensory detail and moral complexity, Yang Shaobin's novel asks what remains when innocence is tested by history-and whether memory and poetry can preserve a human tenderness that power tries to erase.At once intimate and expansive, it evokes a world of kitchen fires, village games, family meals, loudspeakers, and dangerous silences-where the smallest objects carry the force of a vanished era.For readers of literary historical fiction, translated Chinese literature, and novels of childhood, family, memory, and survival. A lyrical coming-of-age novel set in rural China during the Cultural Revolution, where hunger, family, fear, and poetry shape a boy's lifelong memory. This item is printed on demand.
