But when a nameless woman appears on his slab, brutalized beyond recognition, Qing Yuan becomes obsessed with what happened to the victim who becomes known to him simply as #19.</p><p>Soon Qing Yuan and other medical workers are accused and detained as counter-revolutionaries by Maos Red Guards. Locked in a coal room with the accused, Qing Yuan witnesses and experiences unspeakable horrors in a fight to survive. When hes released on a whim, Qing Yuan must summon the inner strength to rebuild his life as a dunce-capped pariah and solve the mystery of what happened on the night #19 was murdered.</p><p>Written by Ruyan Meng, a political dissident of China residing the United States, <em>The Morgue Keeper</em> is based on real-life events. Mengs debut novel is both a Kafkaesque mystery and a survivors testimony. Qing Yuan is a narrator readers will never forget, an ordinary man whose heroism is to simply insist on human kindness and dignity even in the most chaotic and catastrophic circumstances.</p>...(*_*)9798989121496_<p>In 1966, as a brutal revolution grips his city, morgue keeper Qing Yuan spends his nights cleaning bodies in silence-until a viciously murdered woman, known only as "#19," shatters his routine, and he becomes entangled in an existential quest to uncover the truth behind her fate.</p><p>Today, the rapid rise of authoritarianism around the world, with its threats of state control and political persecution, gives plenty of reason for concern here in the United States, and plenty of reason to speculate on what is soon to come.
