Flüchtige Zeit
Miniklone helfen uns dabei, die Liebe unseres Lebens zu finden. Mechanische Kolibris bringen geliebte Menschen zurück. Riesige Seifenblasen lassen es in der Wüste regnen. Ein Vater befindet sich im Kälteschlaf - bis auf einen Tag im Jahr, an dem er sich für ein Familientreffen aufwecken lässt. Eine U-Bahn übernimmt die Kontrolle über ihren Streckenverlauf. Algorithmen lassen Sprachbarrieren verschwinden - und entscheiden, wer in einer Katastrophe gerettet wird und wer nicht.Die Anthologie 'Flüchtige Zeit' versammelt acht prägende Stimmen der zeitgenössischen chinesischen Science-Fiction, die das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch, Umwelt und Technik beleuchten. Die Frage, was bleibt, wenn die Bedingungen menschlicher Existenz grundlegend erschüttert werden, steht dabei im Mittelpunkt. Eine erzählerisch vielfältige Literatur, die sich nicht mit einfachen Antworten zufrieden gibt, sondern die Komplexität unserer Zeit widerspiegelt.In Szene gesetzt wird das vielstimmige Panorama von der Studiengruppe Illustration von Georg Barber (ATAK) und Markus Färber an der Burg Giebichenstein in Halle. Im Nachwort ordnet die Sinologin Jessica Imbach die Erzählungen in ihren gesellschaftlichen und literarischen Kontext ein.Das Buch wir zweifarbig gedruckt, enthält viele Bilder, die die Geschichten begleiten und erscheint mit vier verschiedenen Cover-Motiven. Der Inhalt ist gleich - außen überraschen 'Astronaut', 'Stadt', 'Zeit' oder 'Aqua'.Kapsel - Fantastische Geschichten aus China ist ein Projekt, das seit 2017 Kurzgeschichten aus dem chinesischen Science-Fiction-Kosmos veröffentlicht. Herausgegeben wird die Anthologie 'Flüchtige Zeit' vom Kapsel-Gründer und Literaturwissenschaftler Lukas Dubro und dem Sinologen Felix Meyer zu Venne - in Zusammenarbeit mit dem italienischen Science-Fiction-Verleger Francesco Verso. Kooperationspartner für den Band sind außerdem die Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle und das Konfuzius-Institut an der Universität Heidelberg e.V.

Hospital
“China’s premier science fiction writer.” —Los Angeles Times “[T]his dystopian tale skillfully balances delusion, disillusionment, and disdain. Readers are in for a dark, difficult trip down the rabbit hole.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of Haruki Murakami and Cixin Liu will enjoy Song’s writing style and inventive narrative scope.” —Booklist “Demented, delirious, and one of a kind…Kafkaesque doesn’t begin to describe this cunning labyrinth of a novel. Nothing I have read has captured so incisively (and searingly) the unrelenting institutional brutality of our contemporary world.” —Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao “The darkness contained within Hospital expresses the author’s desperation with mankind’s attempts at self-treatment and salvation. The novel’s completely unbridled narrative path sets out in the direction of science fiction but ultimately arrives at the spiritual abyss lurking in the reality of today’s China…and the rest of the world.” —Yan Lianke, author of The Day the Sun Died and Hard Like Water “Han Song stands out among Chinese science fiction writers. His exuberant imagination engages history in total earnest, speaking to the darkness and perversity of the human condition. Hospital is his masterpiece and should be a landmark in the terrain of contemporary science fiction.” —Ha Jin, author of Waiting, War Trash, and A Song Everlasting “The kind of science fiction I write is two dimensional; but Han Song writes three-dimensional science fiction. If we look at Chinese science fiction as a pyramid, two-dimensional science fiction would be the foundation, but the kind of three-dimensional science fiction that Han Song writes would be the pinnacle.” —Liu Cixin, author of The Three-Body Problem “In this era in which the epidemic rages, Han Song’s Hospital has presented us with a delirious Kafka-esque vision of the future where the relationship between disease, patients, and (technological) caregivers has become enshrouded in a new level of complexity and dark enchantment. Thanks to Michael Berry’s brilliant translation, this unforgettable literary experience can now reach a new group of readers. “ —Chen Qiufan, author of The Waste Tide; co-author of AI 2041 “A work of unbelievable creativity and imagination.” —Lo Yi-Chin, author of Faraway
