Love in the New Millennium by Can Xue Paperback Book

Description: Love in the New Millennium by Can Xue, Annelise Finegan Wasmoen, Eileen Myles The most ambitious work of fiction by one of the worlds greatest writers FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2019 The most ambitious work of fiction by one of the worlds 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 Xues mesmerizing storytelling traces loves 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. Author Biography Can Xue is the pseudonym of the Chinese writer Deng Xiaohua (b. 1953). Formerly a tailor, she began writing fiction in 1983. Her works include Barefoot Doctor, Five Spice Street, The Last Lover, and I Live in the Slums. Annelise Finegan Wasmoen is academic director and clinical associate professor of translation at NYU School of Professional Studies. Eileen Myles is a poet, novelist, and art journalist whose books include For Now, Chelsea Girls, and Evolution.
