“In this dreamlike novel . . . amid increasingly bizarre scenarios, appearances give way to hidden, otherworldly layers.”—New Yorker“I typed this review in one go in 30 minutes or so, and it’s not often I’m this enthused to share as much about a book after finishing. I think it attests to the novel’s greatness.”—Tommi Laine, Literary NoiseLonglisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2019Best Translated Book Award long list finalist in the Fiction category, sponsored by Three PercentShortlisted for the Internationaler Literaturpreis 2022, sponsored by Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Foundation Elementarteilchen“Love in the New Millennium is, as always with Can Xue’s work, a marvel.
