About This Novel
Yu Hua called this "Literature or Music" his personal reading book and the book of harmony. The 28 articles included record Yu Hua's thirty-year personal reading and listening history. His repeated dives into classic masterpieces, his rereading and echoing over and over again, are all condensed in 330 pages. Here, with the sensitivity and empathy of a "novel writer", he repeatedly inquires and leads us closer to great masters such as Borges, Faulkner, Kafka, Chekhov, Marquez, Shostakovich, and Tchaikovsky, analyzing their narrative techniques step by step, and arriving at the secrets of their creations. It is through unremitting reading and interpretation that these classic works glow with ever-lasting vitality. Regardless of resonance or refutation, the arrival of these colorful moments arouses the stress between reading and the original text. Open the book, and an enlightening journey into literature and music classics begins.

I like to read quietly alone
Suddenly I discovered that Teacher Yu Hua's thoughts are very rich.
What books did William Faulkner write?
!!!!
Good reading, good reading, good reading, good reading!
I slowly understood it, it's so profound
Oh, it's a pity
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky is really good
I like Yu Hua's works, they are very good.
It's quite philosophical and refreshing.
