Features: Ning Ken is a writer who is extremely harsh toward his era and himself. The Ringing Women is considered a "tragic trilogy" alongside his two previous long novels, The Masked City and The Silent Gate. The novel possesses a unique spirit of coldness, wit, black humor, and irony that is uniquely Ning Ken's。——Chen Fumin
As an anomaly in the literary world, Ning Ken always surprises people, and The Ringing Women once again proves this. The novel presents a unique state of survival and has an inner force guiding its narrative forward, attracting yet rejecting readers。——Chen Xiaoming
Ning Ken is one of the most exploratory writers of this era, endlessly pursuing the "meaning" of his novels. The Ringing Women has an extremely "materialistic" story, but its cold, desolate meaning leaves readers horrified after reading。——Meng Fanhua
Driven by the great poetic spirit within him, Ning Ken, who once used The Silent Gate to resist reality, now completely dismantles it. If behind the suspenseful story of The Ringing Women we discover an ideological core, that will be the true beginning of our reading。——He Shaojun
This book resonates deeply with me, and it fills me with surprise。——Xu Xiaobin
Ning Ken is a very mature writer,,, with an elegant prose style hiding a rebellious soul. His way of observing the world has shocked the literary world。——Xu Kun
It is both a presentation and critique of the psychology of contemporary society and a narration and diagnosis of the "present history." Within it lies the painful power of memory that allows the "masked" and the "silent" to be restored, which is an important feature of Ning Ken's novels。——Geng Zhan Chun
Ning Ken chooses marginalized narration, yet it reflects various cultural and psychological aspects of the era。——Wu Bingjie
In the vast wilderness, at the foot of towering mountains, the private detective "I" begins a journey of solving suspense, but this is far from a simple story of decoding the truth. The enchanting world of birdsong and fragrant flowers, the mysterious manor's hidden chambers—all conceal another mysterious symbol—the curse of humanity and fate.
The novel centers around the Jian Manor, telling a complex and captivating story that conveys profound and tangible contemporary experiences. The author weaves together Kafkaesque absurdity with Hitchcockian suspense, imbuing it with the color of Gothic literature while inheriting the surreal tradition of Pu Songling's novels. The novel is extraordinary and vibrant, marking a bold attempt by the author in narrative experimentation.
