Cao Kou 曹寇 is a novelist, essayist, and screenwriter. Known for his dry sense of humor and anti-pretentious prose style, Cao’s short stories often focus on the unlovely textures of life away from urban centers, and the deep inequities half-concealed by human resilience. He has published over ten collections of short stories, as well as the novel LIFE IN THE SADDAM ERA.
