This is the video of Nobel Prize for Literature award ceremony for Mo Yan, a writer from China. You've probably heard of the titles of his books that have been made into movies even if you don't know his name. True to his nature, Mo Yan told a story during his acceptance speech. Fascinating! Enjoy!
You can read the transcript of his Nobel Prize lecture in different languages at http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2012/yan-lecture_en.html
In Singapore, you can find MO YAN's books on a special shelf near the Chinese and Japanese books service counter in Kinokuniya in Ngee Ann City shopping mall.
I have not found any of the local bookstore chains offering Mo Yan's books yet. Neither are there any copies inside Singapore's National Library.
