Hunter
By Shuang Xuetao
Translated by Jeremy Tiang
A provincial ambulance drives through the night in search of a hospital, a fifth-rate actor goes method as a hitman on a sweltering rooftop, a legendary knife fighter is found working on the factory floor of a northern village. Hunter's stories of deceptive, brutal realism play with myth and history, offering sketches of ordinary life that take a magic realist turn.
Filled with dark humour and written with a tinge of noir, these stories grapple with the realities of life in contemporary China.
