A major new collection of stories by one of the most exciting and
creative voices in contemporary Chinese literature Can Xue's
stories observe no obvious conventions of plot or characterization.
That is the only rule they follow. Instead, they tend to limn a
disordered and poetic state given structure by philosophical wonder
and emotional rigor. Combining elements of both Chinese
materiality-the love of physical things-and Western abstract
thinking, Can Xue invites her readers into an immersive landscape
that blends empirical fact and illusion, mixes the physical and
spiritual, and probes the space between consciousness and oblivion.
She brings us to a place that is both readily familiar yet
unmappable and can make us hyperaware of the inherent unreliability
in our relationship to the world around us. Delightful, enchanting,
and filled with secrets, Can Xue's newest collection shines a light
on the forces that give contours to the visible terrain we
acknowledge as reality.
