Wuhan: A Documentary Novel

Right after the outbreak of the Corona virus, citizen journalist Li travels to the epicenter of the disaster. “Because he’s not afraid of ghosts,” according to the job advertisement, he finds a job in the crematorium. He quickly realizes that the official number of victims is not correct. But the brief moment in which he believes he can tell the truth passes overnight: he is discovered, followed and documented live on the Internet as he is brutally arrested. In this shockingly timely documentary novel, Wuhan, Liao Yiwu takes us to the heart of the unsolved questions and tells the fascinating investigation into the background of a massive cover-up. Where did the virus come from and what happened in Wuhan? Protocols disappear and new lies cement the story of the party’s heroic victory – propaganda that poisons people like the virus.
