Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2015 Best Translated Book Award

In Mother River, Can Xue, one of China's most daring and visionary writers, invites us into a surreal landscape where reality is as fluid as a river itself. This collection of thirteen stories weaves together vivid, dreamlike narratives that challenge our perceptions of time, identity, and existence.

Through her signature blend of the absurd and the profound, Can Xue explores the fragile boundaries betwen the known and unknown, between humanity and nature. In these tales, a man tries to chase down an ellusive golden peacock, a woman communicates with mysterious, shifting forms of light, and the river that runs through a small village seems to pulse with memories of its own.

Surreal, provocative, and unique, Mother River reinforces Can Xue's status as one of the most rewarding and complex writers working todayand a perennial favorite to win the Nobel Prize.
