Book Description:
The author of "The Son's Big Doll" is Huang Chun-ming, a representative figure of Taiwan's rural literature and an important novelist of the contemporary era. The protagonist, driven by livelihood, disguises himself as a clown and roams the streets and alleys. His inner emotional struggles, as well as the subtle dynamics between him and his wife and children, deeply captivate readers. Illustrator Yang Cui-yu employs a theatrical approach and multi-angle shifts, bringing the story to life. The arrangement and movements of the characters reveal meticulous rhythm, while clear outlines, moving colors, and sharp textures not only convey the protagonist's emotional fluctuations but also evoke profound associations.
