Midnight Stories

Midnight Stories collects ten tales of small-town life with a macabre twist, including a business scheme involving a Madonna lookalike, a disastrous roof repair job, and bloody murder over a missold watermelon. Through a darkly comic lens, Su Tong interweaves cruelty and kindness in a characteristically surreal mode both nightmarish and lyrical.

Midnight Stories aduna zece povesti despre viata unui oras mic, cu o intorsatura macabra, inclusiv o schema de afaceri care implica un asemanator Madonna, o lucrare dezastruoasa de reparare a acoperisului si crima sangeroasa pentru un pepene verde vandut gresit. Printr-o lentila comica intunecata, Su Tong impleteste cruzimea si bunatatea intr-un mod caracteristic suprarealist, atat de cosmar cat si liric.
