Please don't call me human - Shuo Wang

Stephen King called Playing for Thrills,' Wang Shuo's debut novel 'perhaps the most brilliantly entertaining hardboiled novel of the '90s...Raymond Chandler crossed with Bruce Lee.' Now Wang Shuo applies his genius for satire and cultural irreverence to one of the world's sacred rituals, the Olympic Games. And, in this new work, imagines an Olympics where nations compete not on the basis of athletic prowess but on their citizens's capacity for humiliation...and China is determined to win at any cost. An astonishing tripped-out novel and definitely one to watch.'
