Su Tong's Aesthetics

Endowed with what critic Zhang Xuexin describes as a “Southern sensibility,” novelist Su Tong is well known for his ability to suffuse his fiction with culturally textured philosophical explorations of the human condition. The result, according to Zhang's argument, is an aesthetics imbued with a profound spiritual impulse, one that makes Su Tong's work both enjoyable to read and deeply rewarding.
