Old Floating Cloud
Old Floating Cloud: Two Novellas | Canxue
2 posts | 1 to read
Can Xue draws the reader into a world of the grotesque and the surreal, of uncertain spaces and indeterminate identities, of sexual menace and psychological disorientation. These novellas are about life in post-Mao China, but not the China of social realism or of Western fantasy. At the forefront of China's new literary trends, these two novellas--"Yellow Mud Street" and "Old Floating Cloud"--explore Chinese reality through images of the absurd, sudden and illogical juxtapositions, and the limitless transformations induced by a unique imagination.

Finished my most recent novel 'bout 20 hrs ago. Don't know my next read and too lazy to wade through my e-book collection to get the perfect one, so I'm just floating, floating in the clouds with no plan for the future

I‘m staying in a hostel in Moab. You know it‘s a blue town in a red state when the coffee table books are “The Vagina Monologues” and a surreal, alt reality #BookInTranslation by a #WOC. I would seriously consider moving here if it weren‘t so blasted hot. I want to meet the people who run this place! I think we could be friends! I‘m sad I won‘t have the time to read their coffee table books. Maybe they‘ll let me do an exchange?😂
