Can Xue
Deng Xiaohua (; born May 30, 1953), better known by her pen name
Can Xue (; lit: lingering snow), is a Chinese
avant-garde fiction writer and
literary critic. Her family was severely persecuted following her father being labeled a rightist in the
Anti-Rightist Campaign of 1957. Her writing, which consists mostly of short fiction, breaks with the realism of earlier modern Chinese writers. She has also written novels, novellas, and literary criticism of
Dante,
Jorge Luis Borges, and
Franz Kafka. Can Xue has been described as "China’s most prominent author of experimental fiction," and most of her fiction has been translated and published in English.
