Features: Can Xu's novels are among the most innovative in China in recent years—her fiction cannot be categorized into any single genre. They are rather: centered on metaphor to create an atmosphere of threat, terror, and melancholy, the impossible, and vulnerability. Can Xu is a transposition dream artist, a tightrope walker of self-contradiction. These stories are lucid and shocking, beautiful and mysterious, carnival-like, and filled with transformative power.
