Features: The content of this book: I finally want to tell a story. It's a story about a family, about my father and brothers. It's a pieced-together story, with many gaps that require imagination and reasoning, otherwise it would be difficult to follow. The material I have for telling the story is not much, and it's really hard to distinguish between truth and fiction. Part of it comes from rumors and his own narration, both of which may contain distortions and fictional elements; another part is what I witnessed with my own eyes, but this part of the material is both scarce and distant. Moreover, due to the age gap between us, I lack the experience to correctly understand and use it. Thus, it becomes a story full of subjective color, reversing my previous specialty in objective realism.
