"The realist approach to reading—the passive admiration, standing at the outside and uttering a few exclamations at the mystery of literature—is inadequate for dealing with experimental works like Can Xue novels. Every reader must stand up and perform to enter the realm of experimental literature."

"Your question lumps my writing together with other writers of the eighties, which shows that you haven't entered deeply into Can Xue's works—you need to put more effort into reading!"

-one of many funny Can Xue quotes from this interview:

My book, Like a Cat Loves a Bird: The Nine Lives of Muriel Spark, comes out a month today!

I had a chat with Booktime magazine all about it, as well as my love of independent bookshops like @urmstonbooks.bsky.social, @chorltonbookshop.bsky.social and @serenitybookshop.bsky.social 🐈‍⬛

Just like the Keebler elves. They hid a lot of pain behind those smiles.

Ever since those Taco Bell commericials of yore, I've never failed to say "think outside the bun" instead of "box." It's what we meant all along.
