Publish Date: 2003-04-01
Features: A fantastic and stunning book! A tale of family, ghostly separation, war, and the legends of generations, paired with seemingly absurd illustrations, filling the story with a bizarre and sensual color. Enjoy an alternative reading experience brought by the era of visual culture in the midst of an thrilling narrative! This is a magnificent book and Liu Suola's best novel to date. The novel can be read as the legend of an alien tribe on a remote island in 4000 years, or as a story about women. The entire novel is filled with romance between men and women. Men carry the Dao, women convey emotions, and the outcome is always emotions being destroyed by the Dao. Therefore, the big story is written in a vague and often fragmented manner, while the small stories are detailed and often branch out, with flowers blooming on the branches. Men form the skeleton and background, while women embody the flesh, blood, and soul. The greatest enjoyment of reading this novel lies in its form and language. First, regarding the structure, it builds a grand framework, blending mythology, history, and romantic legends. It draws from various forms such as notes, opera, poetry, folk songs, newspaper collages, and film scripts, with each part echoing and corresponding to one another. The styles are rich and diverse, yet the rhythm is calm and well-arranged, without any sense of redundancy or boredom. In terms of narrative language, Liu Suola made bold experiments, with the style evolving step by step as the story progresses. Initially, the language is a mix of classical and vernacular, concise and refined, using numerous parallel short sentences, reminiscent of the clarity of Shanhaijing and Soushenji. Later, when discussing the modern era, it gradually shifts to modern vernacular, long and detailed, capturing the leisurely and worldly tone of novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the modern era. The inserted folk songs and parodic poems are crafted according to the characters' identities, eras, and genres, blending solemnity and humor, vivid and skillful, full of wit without revealing it. It makes you: This person is truly a born novelist!
