Features: This is a record of a young critic's literary life. On the "scene," behind the scenes of literary events, among writers, works, and readers, he acts, feels, thinks, judges, and speaks. In Paper Scene, he first appears as an "hedonistic" reader, carefully preserving and conveying fresh, vivid aesthetic experiences. Then he becomes an observer, constantly discovering new things, phenomena, and writers, watching the flow and trends of literature and culture. He is a "rational" critic—not in the sense of theory, but in the sense of "reasonableness"—his stance being a skeptical critical one. At the same time, he is determined to "speak well" and write his articles well; his criticism is also prose, lively, relaxed, humorous, and distinctive. Paper Scene: Voices from the "scene," left on paper as the "scene."
