Features: Wu Xuan's novels resemble "a desolate gesture," combining both resigned lament and melancholic shifts in tone. Wu Xuan often attempts to peel away the various dark, eerie, helpless, and even absurd aspects of human nature from symbolic reflections of life, revealing a postmodern landscape of fragmented existence and providing a unique spiritual reference for our contemporary inner lives. As a novelist, Wu Xuan is an hedonist, with a keen sensitivity to experience, relentless in his pursuit, and like all hedonists, he is an appreciator, able to discern the formal essence of life from the gentle flow of experience. Therefore, Wu Xuan's novels are certainly not profound, but they are undoubtedly interesting.
