Features: "Ineffable" is a recorded conversation series by Chen Ran. This intellectually dense yet rich and varied conversation series was published alongside "Voices Interrupted" as a sister volume. "Voices Interrupted" is her profound inner monologue, while "Ineffable" is her intellectual exchange with friends from home and abroad. Comparing the two, we can see a more comprehensive and multifaceted Chen Ran. The book covers a wide range of topics, including daily life, reading and writing, love and friendship, men and women, with extensive and detailed information. Chen Ran can be described as an author who is not good at sarcasm, relatively reserved yet extremely serious. However, her experience as a university teacher for over four years has honed her ability to express thoughts swiftly and authentically. Her honesty, depth, humor, and even stubbornness make her words full of charming allure, leaving people amazed. Titled "Ineffable," the book aims to explore the richness and complexity of the conversations, as some things cannot be as clear-cut as black and white, simple, or either/or. With her wisdom and humor, Chen Ran weaves through these topics, yet her words are always heartfelt.
