I’ve read a few Can Xue stories, and now I’m curious what the current landscape of Chinese literature is like. Anyone here know what it’s like and what authors are making a big impact currently? Any big cities with a large literary scene?
Literature is dead in China, if anything, all non-STEM subjects are dead in China.

>>25349785Chinese literature is a bit of a closed ecosystem and little of it gets translated. So if we just look at what you can read in English, the big dogs of the previous generation still have some sway: Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Yan Lianke and Can Xue. There are younger authors who are getting translated, like Shuang Xuetao, and the translator of his books, Jeremy Tiang, is someone to keep an eye on. A good site for information and news about Chinese literature in translation of all different kinds is:https://paper-republic.org/
