Shuang Xuetao
🇨🇳China
Shuang Xuetao writes about the industrial northeast of China — the rust belt of Manchuria — with a noir sensibility and an elegiac tenderness for the workers and drifters who inhabit its declining cities. Rouge Street, a trio of novellas, established him as one of the most exciting young voices in Chinese fiction, blending crime fiction's propulsive plotting with a literary depth that recalls Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy. Hunter extends his exploration of masculinity, violence, and survival on the margins of Chinese modernity. Shuang writes with kinetic energy and genuine compassion for characters the Chinese economic miracle left behind.
