More Mo Yan: Mo book sales

       No word yet on the impact of the Nobel win on Mo Yan's book sales abroad (though his Amazon.com 'Author Rank' of 23 in the 'Literary' category, and 28 in the 'Literary Fiction' category look pretty good), but he's flying off whatever shelves his books are available on in China: as Song Shengxia reports in the Global Times in Mo money:

"Sales of Mo's book increased six or seven times before he was actually awarded the prize, and they have soared by 10 times now," said Wang Fan, a staff member in charge of public relations at dangdang.com.

       And:

"All the old versions of Mo's books sold out before October 11 and a total of 200,000 sets of Mo's 16 collected works are now being printed," said Cao Yuanyong, deputy editor of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House

       Their 'collected works' edition includes: "16 of Mo's books, including 11 of his long novels and five medium- and short-length novels" -- quite a heap.
