  • The Day the Sun Died (Chinese: 日熄; pinyin: Rìxī; lit. 'The Dimming Sun') is a 2015 novel by Yan Lianke, published in Taiwan. Carlos Rojas translated the book into English, and the translation was published in 2018 by Grove. The novel's events occur in a place called Gaotian, in June, within the span of twenty-four hours, starting at 5 PM, going through the nighttime, with the morning occurring at the end of the book. Li Niannian, a 14-year old boy, narrates the novel. His uncle owns a mortuary. His father Tianbao, who makes funerary wreaths, is involved with hiding oil generated from dead bodies instead of allowing it to be sent to factories. During the novel many residents of Niannian's village suffer from somnambulism. Niannian knows Yan Lianke, who appears in the novel and also suffers from somnambulism in addition to writer's block. Over 500 deaths occur as the sufferers lack inhibition and wish to right perceived wrongs inflicted by others. Since the government promotes cremation over burial, Niannian's uncle gains a lot of money. The narrative keeps track of each hour passing. (en)
