Legendary Pu Sunlin, author of the collection “Fox Charms,” introduces us to monk sorcerers. The heroes of Pu Sunlin’s story collection “Magic Monks” are, on the one hand, tricksters and funny people; on the other, saints who know magical arts and therefore are dangerous and deserving of all respect. These monks are sharp-eyed: they know the secrets of both this and that world. They are magicians and illusionists. It takes them nothing to forcefully mix reality with a chimera and, in the end, punish vice or foolishness—then change their faces to someone else’s, build structures on a vacant lot, or walk right through a wall.
