Features: I believe, we can divide the world of discourse into two poles. One pole is the words of sages, which are voluntary donations, and the other is the words of the silent, which are forcibly collected taxes. Between these two poles, all words are ambiguous and unclear; they are both donations and taxes. Wang Xiaobo—currently China's most creatively gifted writer, hailed as China's Joyce and Kafka in one person—is also the only mainland Chinese writer to have won the prestigious "United Daily News Literature Prize for Short Stories" twice in the world Chinese literary community. His literary creations are unique, rich in imagination and fantasy, yet not lacking in rationality. This book selects several of Wang Xiaobo's essays and short stories to help readers better appreciate his works.
