Seaside Room

About This Novel

"Room by the Sea" is a collection of short stories by Taiwan's new generation novelist Huang Liqun. Twelve bad people, twelve breathtakingly good stories. The novelist crafts elegant and precise Chinese language, and cleverly arranges it to neatly chop up the joys and sorrows of the world, and writes about a cold world of urban eccentrics: an abandoned daughter and adoptive father in an old apartment, a fortune teller and a sick son in the country, a sleepwalking homeboy, a middle-aged woman living alone and a calico cat... The playful language and unexpected frozen endings, as well as the meticulous observation of ordinary people, constitute the unique textual tension of the work. Impermanence is often the most ordinary. Huang Liqun's writings about worldly affairs are warm and cold, touching the hearts and secrets of the ordinary market, the passion and sorrow of frustrated people, and our daily difficulties and loneliness.
