The Kindness of Relationships is a collection of short and medium-length stories by Hungarian author Laszlo Krasznahorkai, featuring eight tales including his signature works The Trap of Jozsef and The Barber's Hand. His works are often classified as postmodernist fiction due to their peculiar sentence structures, ambiguous settings, elusive meanings, highly jumpy plots, frequently radiating compositions, consistently obscure narrators, and endings steeped in mystery. Beyond the stories themselves, Professor Yu Zemin's foreword is equally compelling. It not only details the author's creative journey but also analyzes Krasznahorkai's almost obsessive fascination with China through firsthand accounts drawn from his own experiences. Undoubtedly, this will bridge the gap between readers and the works.
