暗疾/Hidden Maladies [Chinese]

By 薛舒著

Hidden Maladies is a collection of five urban stories written in recent years by author Xue Shu, including "Letter from Saavedra," "The North Window," "The Last Fishing Village," "Hidden Maladies," and "Returning Home." Falling in love is easy, but staying together is hard. The author delves deep into the interior of marriages and family lives, observing their often-overlooked details in search of hidden maladies. After the trivialities of daily life have repeatedly eroded what was once love, can life still go on? And if so, how? With profound insight and a mature, distinctive writing style, the author portrays contemporary marital life and seeks to explore with readers the question of how we can love--and love better--today.
