Mu Shiying. Shanhajskij fokstrot
Mu Shiying. Shanhajskij fokstrot
| Author | Mu Shiying |
| Title | Shanhajskij fokstrot |
| Description | “Shanghai Foxtrot” presents selected prose by Mu Shiying in Russian for the first time, introducing readers to one of the most striking writers of Chinese modernism in the 1930s and a leading representative of Shanghai’s New Sensationist school. His stories immerse the reader in a Shanghai of nightclubs, jazz, automobiles, advertising, cocktails and neon light — a rapidly modernising metropolis in which Western cultural influences mingle with Chinese urban life. Mu Shiying’s protagonists are young, reckless and constantly in motion: they dance, fall in love, cheat, gamble, spend money and try to keep pace with the speed of the great city. Beneath the glitter of this world gradually emerge exhaustion, loneliness and a sense that an era is approaching its end. The writer’s experimental style captures the nervous, fragmented rhythm of the modern metropolis. The works in the collection were translated from Chinese by Vitaly Andreev and are published in Russian for the first time. |
