Novelistic treatments of the Great Leap Forward (7,8)
Yu Hua´s Huozhe (活着) also has a section devoted to the famine and the steel making craze.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Not “novelistic” but in case of interest to the list, Yu Rongjun (Nick Yu), china’s most prolific playwright with more than 50 plays to his credit, wrote a play called 星期八 (best translation of this wonderful title is still under discussion, feel free to make suggestions!) in which the great famine figures prominently, which kept it from being staged in china two years ago. nick gave me the script at that time so that one of my duke students in my play translation class could translate a scene from it for her class project, and another of my former students is currently translating the full script. if anyone would like to read the chinese script, please let me know and i will get permission from nick and pass it on to you.
best, claire conceison <claire.conceison at duke.edu>
