About This Novel

Pulitzer Prize winner Zhang Yan: Yuan Ling is a master of non-fiction writing. A sneak attack on the hinterland of literature, it turns out that non-fiction can be written like this! The lamentation of the fate of 12 "superfluous people" reflects on every misfit. Yuan Ling further established his style. He conducted a literary experiment based on real characters and details, blurring the boundaries between documentary literature and fiction, and challenging the possibility of writing non-fiction literature. This is a collection of "emotional" non-fiction works. Among the 12 stories, there are migrant workers who left their hometowns, confinement sisters who insisted on taking literature classes, and cold-eyed bystanders of murders... They are all "superfluous people" - unable to change their lives, they can only watch the fate that is imposed on them, showing a kind of "indifference" to their own circumstances. Yuan Ling captured this subtle emotion and restored the solemnity of life with words. "Indifference" condenses Yuan Ling's judgment and expression on the changes taking place in contemporary society. He wrote this record not just to sigh, but also to regurgitate our life and find its hidden warmth.
