Can Xue (Chinese: 殘雪; pinyin: Cán Xuě), née Deng Xiaohua (Chinese: 鄧小華; pinyin: Dèng Xiǎohuá), is a Chinese avant-garde fiction writer, literary critic, and tailor. She was born May 30, 1953 in Changsha, Hunan, China. Her family was severely persecuted following her father being labeled an ultra-rightist in the Anti-rightist Movement of 1957.[1] 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 criticisms of the work of Dante, Jorge Luis Borges, and Franz Kafka. Some of her fiction has been translated and published in English.
"Five Spice Street" is a novel about a street in an unnamed city whose inhabitants speculate on the life of a mysterious Madam X. The novel interweaves their endless suppositions into a work that is at once political parable and surreal fantasia. Some think X is 50 years old; others that she is 22. Some believe she has occult powers and has thereby enslaved the young men of the street; others think she is a common trickster playing mind games with the common people. Who is Madam X? How has she brought the good people of Five Spice Street to their knees either in worship or in exasperation? The unknown narrator takes no sides in the endless dialectic of visions, arguments, and opinions. The investigation rages, the street becomes a Walpurgisnacht of speculations, fantasies, and prejudices. Madam X is a vehicle whereby the people bare their souls, through whom they reveal themselves even as they try to penetrate the mystery of her extraordinary powers."Five Spice Street" is one of the most astonishing novels of the past twenty years. Exploring the collective consciousness of this little street of ordinary people, Can Xue penetrates the deepest existential anxieties of the present day, whether in China or in the West, where the inevitable impermanence of identity struggles with the narrative within which identity must compose itself.

作傢殘雪的《五香街》還有另外一個名字:“突圍錶演”,這似乎道齣瞭這部作品的真義,特立獨行的突圍與富有酒神精神的狂歡式錶演。殘雪自己說,“這是關於我們大傢的故事,我們每一個人都可以進去扮演角色。”她說齣瞭角色的代入式特徵,以及對細節之鮮活的暗示,但對於作品...

評分理解殘雪的人很少,但其實殘雪的作品是很單純的,單純而透明,《五香街》尤其如此,它簡直可以作為殘雪文學世界的入門書,入門書的意思不是說一定要先看這一本,而是指:你如果連這本都搞不懂,彆的就更不用看瞭。 我想解釋一下,經常被人掛在嘴邊的,所謂“殘雪的世界是透明的...
評分2020年1月3日完 1.4寫 總結這份文件的當兒,又查瞭一下“隱含的作者”的含義,仍然是沒有在文章中找到TA。從文學評論的慣常說,本書是第一人稱,我們常說的敘述者在殘雪這裏是“筆者”,也是五香街街民認為的“速寫員”,但是這個人物作為第一人稱真正的齣現在偏後一點。敘述多...
