Features: This collection of essays is broadly divided into five parts. Part (Contemplation) reflects on attitudes toward significant matters. The second part (Words on Books) discusses books, covering the formation, fate, and evolution of various works. The third part (Brief Reviews) features the author's "chatterbox" tendencies, where he shares his comments and critiques on various works and matters—his anxieties and excitement often bubbling up and hard to hold back. The fourth part (Q&A) includes all the interviews the author has accepted during this period. When appropriate, he has not avoided interviews. In his view, interviews hold equal significance to writing—they are authentic, direct, and concrete, better reflecting his inner self. The fifth part (On Painting) presents the author's insights gained over the years from studying modern Western art.
