funny, irreverent, and delightfully vulgar family romance, THE CHILLI BEAN PASTE CLAN is Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's THE NEST meets Laura Esquivel's LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, spiced with the unique flavor of the Sichuan peppercorn.
Set in a fictional town in rural Sichuan, this is the story of the Duan Family, who has managed the local Chilli bean paste factory for decades. It's a lucrative business, passed down by the matriarch, Grandma, to her younger son, Shengqiang. As Grandma's eightieth birthday approaches, all her children get together to make preparations. Family secrets are revealed, long-time sibling rivalries intensify. Shengqiang can barely juggle between his mistress and his wife, but the biggest surprise comes from Grandma herself
A native of Sichuan, Yan Ge (b. 1984) is one of China's most critically acclaimed young writers. She has a PhD in comparative literature from Sichuan University and was visiting scholar at Duke University from 2011 to 2012, as well as writer in residence at Crossing Border Festival in the Netherlands in November 2012. Her previous novel, STRANGE BEASTS, has been adapted into TV series, and an English-language deal is under negotiation. She lives in Dublin with her husband and son.
