Mao Dun Prize-winning Liu Zhenyun's politically charged plot reads like an absurd and hilarious comedy. But under the humor lies a harsh indictment of China's one-child law that develops into a head-on critique of China's endemic political apathy and corruption as Li Xuelian runs up against one uncaring bureaucrat after another. I Did Not Kill My Husband is storytelling and satire of the highest order, sharp-edged and ironic.
