Features: Wang Xiaobo is currently one of the most creative writers in China, hailed as China's Joyce and Kafka. He 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. His words are transparent yet obscure, sincere yet cunning. The labyrinthine text can make you think of Borges; he circles around like a taxi driver, even more so than a taxi driver. In short, you can read infinite possibilities or impossibilities, infinite certainty or uncertainty. The Complete Works of Wang Xiaobo is divided into ten volumes, collecting his important writings during his lifetime, with a significant portion being newly organized thoughts. The entire set is divided into essays, long novels, short novels, short stories, correspondence, and unfinished drafts, totaling approximately 2 million words. This book is the tenth volume, featuring unfinished drafts. Fragments, incomplete chapters, and new complete manuscripts, offering a comprehensive look at Wang Xiaobo's humorous and distinctive excerpts.
