Can Xue is one of the most famous avant-garde authors to emerge from China in the 1980’s, and we took a look at one of her best and most enigmatic short stories, “Hut on the Mountain.”
Having read Can Xue, she does really seem like she is creating a Kafkaesque world. That’s a tribute both to her and to Kafka, who translates into so many different cultures.
