The thirteen stories in this collection are vintage Can Xue. Similar to her novels (The Last Lover, Frontier) and other collections (Vertical Motion) the focus is less on what happens and more on the experience of reading. 


"Mother River" is a short bildungsroman of a young man who decides to become a fisherman (and crafter of spherical maps) and discovers that performing the role itself is more important than the number of fish they catch. 


Surreal, provocative, and unique, Mother River reinforces Can Xue's status as one of the most reward and complex writers working today—and a perennial favorite to win the Nobel Prize.
