A meeting devoted to Can Xue, one of the leading authors of the Chinese literary avant-garde of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Her work is sometimes described as a consistent and extreme form of avant-gardism; the style relies on vivid, uncanny imagery and a stream-of-consciousness–like narrative. Texts freely shift perspective and temporal order, and their world is filled with motifs of the grotesque, nightmare, and brutality.
The novel "The Mysterious Train" tells the story of a group of strangers traveling on an extraordinary train; their journey resembles a restless and disturbing dream, where reality and hallucination merge, opening space for many interpretations.
