Features: "Pickup Lines" selects nine short stories by Yin Xigeng. The author excels at using a meticulous approach to uncover hidden female desires. The collection centers entirely on female experiences, often describing them with a neutral perspective, giving the stories a sense of coldness and desolation. It portrays the fundamental isolation of individual women, their narcissism, and the opposition between non-romanticized reality.
