"Smoke City" is the latest collection of original short stories and short stories published by writer Can Xue in 2023, which includes 11 short and medium-length works by Can Xue. Go deep into the details of daily life, let your imagination run wild in the realm of words, and create an existence space that transcends reality itself. Can Xue's writing is distinctively avant-garde. She uses words to weave a narrative labyrinth, chewing on the nutrients of daily life as the nourishment of her creations.

The allegorical writing style and dreamlike narrative language contain majestic philosophical power, and the strong and unfettered self-awareness is released in the blunt words.
Reader comments
Can Xue is an avant-garde writer known for his irrational and nightmarish narratives. And make good use of a lot of symbols and metaphors. Therefore, the first impression after reading these articles is that they are not thorough and confusing, but there is still a kind of attraction that makes you read through.
Weird, eerie and hazy. Mainly because these feelings surround me, I also tried to look up some analysis on the Internet to understand it, but the content I found was complicated and different, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion. Maybe there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.
I saw a saying that "Can Xue's works refuse explanation and focus on experience." I thought it was right. I put aside my obsession with the plot and entered into immersive reading. What you feel at this time may be what the author wants you to get.
It's good to write about things that happen in daily life. There is room for reflection. Leave suspense
The writing is beautiful, the artistic conception is even more beautiful, and the creativity is rich!
Good! Well written! Worth reading[Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
