Written by 90s-born author Wang Zhanhei, Air Cannon is a book featuring eight short stories that depict the day-to-day life of residents living in older neighborhoods. Wang celebrates the glories of mundanity and offers readers a uniquely intimate perspective of life in modern China by weaving tales around the trials and tribulations of ordinary people.
From hazy childhood memories of nongtang alleys to sights of the recently constructed inner-city spaces that feel both new and old at the same time, Wang’s writing examines the working class and the unique communities they’ve formed. Wielding simple but riveting prose, she creates detail-oriented stories imbued with a sense of authenticity. For a 90s-born author, the outlook with which she observes the world’s mundanities is something extraordinary.

《空响炮》是 90 后新锐作家王占黑的故事集,收录了8篇短篇小说,描述了五彩斑斓的街道小人物,他们的生活看似平淡无奇却也有各自的“惊涛骇浪”,王占黑给读者提供了一个窥视市井人生的独特视角,提供了一个有趣的维度。
王占黑的写作从童年模糊的弄堂、河岸记忆到独立于“乡村”和“都市”之外的半新不旧的空间,共同点是它们都是小城市平民阶层所创造的熟人社会。这个群体的容量是庞大的,王占黑赋予它一种真实、细致且平视的呈现,像是一段一段的微电影,黑白的,却是耐人寻味的,其视角对于90后的作者来说是难能可贵的。
