The first alternative picture book by Huang Junlang, the lyricist behind "Father's Name," "Cowboy Is Busy," and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night." Jay Chou: Whether this book is exciting or not depends on whether you understand humor. Slowly savor "This Book" at Carving Time Café. It's unconventional yet simple. After reading, you'll understand on your own. In "This Book," Ah-Lang uses simple lines to draw his unique "Ah-Lang-style world." The book's witty text is full of humorous yet lonely content, always prompting readers to think about questions they wouldn't normally consider—those taken for granted in love and life. Through Ah-Lang's perspective, we also see another world. As the saying goes, "Depth lies on the surface." It couldn't be more fitting to describe Ah-Lang's "This Book."—Lyric Master Vincent Fang From Ah-Lang's words, you'll follow him in his jumps, his imagination, and his detour. When reading Ah-Lang's books, don't go in with expectations or a purpose. He's an explosive thinker. You can only piece together the Ah-Lang you think he is from his fragments of inspiration.—Copywriter Lin Chi-ning This book presents a uniquely styled Ah-Lang world to readers through the understanding of artworks, the imagination of love, memories of past times, and the fragmented depiction and comprehension of present things. His humorous and profound language, combined with unconventional illustrations, takes readers into Ah-Lang's world of stark contrasts. The clever blend of profound text and alternative black-and-white illustrations is a key feature of this book. It lays bare the delicate emotions and inner world of people. Urban dwellers who feel lonely under pressure will find a window to vent and resonate with in "This Book."
