I denna kalejdoskopiska roman lever en grupp kvinnor i ett samhälle där konspirationerna och paranoian lurar bakom varje hörn, liksom magin. På traktens bomullsfabrik utnyttjades många men lyckades fly, för att nu, nöjda, arbeta på en bordell. En ung änka som längtar efter sin älskare reser till sin kusin på landsbygden, där nätterna innebär en tillvaro nära de döda. Andra uppsöker en plats där traditionell kinesisk medicin kan omskapa jaget. Alla försöker de navigera mellan olika kärlekar och de begravda hemligheter som omger deras liv. Med en outgrundlig, drömlik klarhet, mot bakgrund av handel och industri, bedrägeri och exploatering, skriver Can Xue fram en fascinerande berättelse om sex och romantik för vår tid.

The first full-length novel by Chinese author Can Xue to appear in English “There’s no other writer in China like Can Xue . . . strange, surreal, and very compelling . . . [and] this novel is probably the best place to start.”—Chad Post, Publishers Weekly Five Spice Street tells the story of a street in an unnamed city whose inhabitants speculate on the life of a mysterious Madam X. The novel interweaves their endless suppositions into a work that is at once political parable and surreal fantasia. Some think X is 50 years old, others that she is 22. Some believe she has occult powers and has thereby enslaved the young men of the street; others think she is a clever trickster playing mind games with the common people. Who is Madam X? How has she brought the good people of Five Spice Street to their knees either in worship or in exasperation? The unknown narrator takes no sides in the endless interplay of visions, arguments, and opinions. The investigation rages, as the street becomes a Walpurgisnacht of speculations, fantasies, and prejudices. Madam X is a vehicle whereby the people bare their souls, through whom they reveal themselves even as they try to penetrate the mystery of her extraordinary powers. Exploring the collective consciousness of this little street of ordinary people, Can Xue penetrates the deepest existential anxieties of the present day—whether in China or in the West—where the inevitable impermanence of identity struggles with the narrative within which identity must compose itself.

From the sensational Chinese author who has been called “a new world master,” a Kafkaesque novel set in a fictional Western nation Winner of the 2015 Best Translated Book Award for fiction, presented by Three Percent, a resource for international literature “[A] mind-bending novel. . . . Xue succeeds in creating a unique, immersive, tale of ‘intersecting dreamworlds.’”—Publishers Weekly In Can Xue’s extraordinary book, we encounter a full assemblage of husbands, wives, and lovers. Entwined in complicated, often tortuous relationships, these characters step into each other’s fantasies, carrying on conversations that are “forever guessing games.” Their journeys reveal the deepest realms of human desire, figured in Can Xue’s vision of snakes and wasps, crows, cats, mice, earthquakes, and landslides. In dive bars and twisted city streets, on deserts and snowcapped mountains, the author creates an extreme world where every character “is driving death away with a singular performance.” Who is the last lover? The novel is bursting with vividly drawn characters. Among them are Joe, sales manager of a clothing company in an unnamed Western country, and his wife, Maria, who conducts mystical experiments with the household’s cats and rosebushes. Joe’s customer Reagan is having an affair with Ida, a worker at his rubber plantation, while clothing-store owner Vincent runs away from his wife in pursuit of a woman in black who disappears over and over again. By the novel’s end, we have accompanied these characters on a long march, a naive, helpless, and forsaken search for love, because there are just some things that can’t be stopped—or helped.

Longlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize A major new collection of stories by one of the most exciting and creative voices in contemporary Chinese literature “There’s something inescapably cosmic about [Can Xue’s] writing: the grandness of her vision, the abstraction of her thought, the way the details of lived reality seem to shrink and assume an equal significance, as though one were orbiting a distant star and peering down.”—Bailey Trela, Los Angeles Review of Books Can Xue’s stories observe no obvious conventions of plot or characterization. That is the only rule they follow. Instead, they tend to limn a disordered and poetic state given structure by philosophical wonder and emotional rigor. Combining elements of both Chinese materiality—the love of physical things—and Western abstract thinking, Can Xue invites her readers into an immersive landscape that blends empirical fact and illusion, mixes the physical and spiritual, and probes the space between consciousness and oblivion. She brings us to a place that is both readily familiar yet unmappable and can make us hyperaware of the inherent unreliability in our relationship to the world around us. Delightful, enchanting, and filled with secrets, Can Xue’s newest collection shines a light on the forces that give contours to the visible terrain we acknowledge as reality.

A profound, poignant story of a village healer and her community, from one of the world’s great contemporary novelists “A complex and illuminating portrait of a group of healers in China . . . [that] offers profound insights about what it means to pursue and live a fulfilling life.”—Publishers Weekly “A barefoot doctor herself, [Can Xue] has a unique and powerful way of transporting readers to new worlds where reality and magic are intertwined, and she uses her own experiences to make this novel feel more personal.”—Emily Park, Booklist In rural Yun Village, herbalist Mrs. Yi lives with her husband in a cottage at the foot of Niulan Mountain, where she gathers herbs to treat the ailments of the villagers by day and studies medicine by night. Sickness and herbs are lovers, she tells her patients, rejoicing when they recover, comforting them when they do not. All the while, she hopes to find a worthy successor to take up her mantle. As curious younger villagers observe Mrs. Yi and begin imitating her work—planting gardens and studying the art of healing—they soon discover that the line dividing life from death is porous, and the mountain is more mysterious than they ever knew. Drawing on her experiences as a barefoot doctor in her youth, Can Xue returns with a transporting novel that alights in the in-between spaces: between the living and the dead, healer and sick, nature and us.

Longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2019The most ambitious work of fiction by one of the world’s greatest writers “In this dreamlike novel . . . amid increasingly bizarre scenarios, appearances give way to hidden, otherworldly layers.”—New Yorker In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flower beds and conspiracies abound. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello, underground ancestral homes, or Nest County, where traditional medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Can Xue’s mesmerizing storytelling traces love’s many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, and sex and romance drawn from the East and the West.

Wei Bo irrlichtert durch eine Welt ständiger erotischer Verfügbarkeit, in der er zum Spielball in einer geheimnisvoll matriarchal kontrollierten Gesellschaft wird. Vier Frauen dominieren seine Welt, in der sich alle in permanenter Überwachung befinden, in der Informanten in Blumenbeeten lauern und es vor falschen Berichten wimmelt. Verschwörungen wuchern an allen Ecken und Enden dieser Gesellschaft, die Paranoia und Misstrauen schürt. Manche versuchen zu fliehen – sei es in ein mysteriöses Wellnesshotel oder in die Häuser der Ahnen, die nur unterirdisch durch schlammige Höhlen, Abwasserkanäle und Tunnel erreicht werden können. Andere suchen die Zuflucht in einer Stadt namens Chao, wo traditionelle chinesische Heilpflanzen es ermöglichen, zu einem neuen Selbst zu finden, und versprechen, die Welt etwas glücklicher werden zu lassen. Jedes Leben wird hier von tief vergrabenen Geheimnissen und surrealen Trugbildern heimgesucht.Can Xues meisterhaft erzählte Liebesgeschichte ist eine düster-groteske Farce aus dem heutigen China. Sie zeigt die vielen Gesichter der Liebe – satirisch, tragisch, vergänglich, absurd und erfüllend – vor einer Kulisse aus Kommerz und Industrie, Betrug und Ausbeutung.

Eine Ratte streift durch die dunklen Gassen und Häuser eines unterirdischen Slums und berichtet von ihren Ängsten und Erinnerungen, Sehnsüchten und skurrilen Begegnungen. Zwei Jungen dringen nachts in eine fremde Küche ein und finden sich in einem finsteren Raum wieder, inmitten unsichtbarer Köche und verführerischer Gerüche. Eine alte Zikade, Vorsängerin eines Chors, wird im Kampf mit einer Spinne zerlegt, nur ihr großer Kopf überlebt, und so konzentriert sie ihr Denken nun darauf, den eigenen Körper wieder auszubilden. Diese und andere Figuren, die alltäglicher und zugleich fantastischer nicht sein könnten, bewegen sich traumwandlerisch in einer von den Gesetzen der Logik befreiten, in schillernden Tönen erzählten Welt.Can Xue, eine Meisterin der Erzählkunst, nimmt die Leserinnen und Leser in ihren Prosastücken mit auf eine atemberaubende Reise durch innere und äußere Landschaften und erkundet aus ganz eigenen Perspektiven das große Ganze unserer Existenz.

När hon fördjupar sig i litteraturen manifesterar sig den fiktiva världen på ett mystiskt sätt: nattgatorna fylls plötsligt av doften från avlägsna hav; leoparder smyger omkring i dunkla kaféer... Böcker kallar fram vissa saker: mentorer dyker upp, gamla vänner återförenas, kärleken växer, och livet...

A selection of harsh, sometimes violent, and often surreal stories by the premier young avant-garde Chinese woman writer.A couple moves with their young daughter to the seaside, only to be terrorized by hostile townsfolk, predatory seabirds, and the persistent sound of the waves. Two old friends spend their waning days traipsing amongst ruined walls, imagining bubbling brooks and lush marshland. An old man lives atop a bizarre wooden building in the clouds, where he is served pancakes by a hostile youth.These are the scenarios of just some of the stories in this generous new collection by Can Xue. Although rooted in the folk traditions of Chinese literature and the real conflicts of contemporary Chinese life, Can Xue's stories exist in a separate space and time where dreams and reality coalesce: tenderness quickly turns to violence, strange diseases are caught, and quaint landscapes become phantasmagorical. Can Xue's literary world is inhabited by ghosts, dying old men, street urchins, cobblers, farmers, cats, rats, and stray dogs. Much influenced by Borges, Kafka, and Bruno Schulz, this new collection of Can Xue's surreal stories confirms The New York Times' assessment that "reading Can Xue's fiction is like running downhill in the dark; you've got momentum, but you don't know where you're headed."

Denna samling av sexton noggrant utvalda berättelser av Can Xue erbjuder en genväg till att förstå henne och leder till den enorma och dolda litterära värld hon har skapat. I dessa fantastiska handlingar använder Can Xue enkel, klar, koncis och poetiskt rik språk för att utforska de mörka och vidsträckta gränserna av sin egen och människans själ. Genom sina karaktärer försvarar och tolkar hon heroismen och romantiken i det vardagliga livet och hyllar varje individs själs komplexitet och oförklarlighet.
