Xiaolu Guo recommends
Vaim (2025)
(Vaim Trilogy, book 1)
Jon Fosse
"Reading Jon Fosse is always a curious and wondrous experience. Vaim is no exception: it ferries the reader along the stream of the 'ordinary mind,' from which suddenly shines forth a luminous beyond."
The Four Spent the Day Together (2025)
Chris Kraus
"Excellent retelling of an American nightmare with its unique Chris Kraus prose: sharp, bold, fast paced and piercingly direct. The Four Spent The Day Together will be a great read for anyone who is passionate about understanding the complexity of marginal lives and the danger of living on the edge."
Golden Age (2022)
Wang Xiaobo
"In this excellent translation by Yan Yan, Golden Age demonstrates that Wang Xiaobo is one of the most original writers in post-Mao China. At once hilarious and charged with serious political discourse, Golden Age is a tour de force. It is as playful as Animal Farm by Orwell and as complex as Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. Anyone who is interested in modern China should read this book."
