About This Novel
"Looking for Musk" is a collection of twelve stories written by writer Feng Liang, a collection of deep and multi-vocal novels. In "Snow Light Bar", an "art patron" who relies on her ex-husband to support her life after divorce encounters new changes after falling in love with the bar owner. All that is left to her is the portrait of the Tibetan woman in the Snow Light Bar and the unspoken agreement. In "Old A Niu Died of Sickness", the sixty-nine-year-old A Niu was lying in the critical room of the hospital, listening to his children discussing his funeral, but he was reluctant to take his last breath. In "Helpless", Ye Sufen embarks on bumpy journeys again and again to visit her husband in the labor camp. There is a shadow of death between them - their young son was kicked to death by her husband. In "Escape", the carpenter Jin Long gave a fatal blow to the contractor who had deducted his wages in anger. He dug a hole in the snow to hide in a panic, and his notebook was filled with chaotic thoughts; in "Searching for Musk", on a mountain ridge above 4,500 meters above sea level, a hunter with a German-made telescope squatted for several days, just for a male deer with musk. There is also Granny Ou's regret, Zong Zong's silence, Jin Long's escape... Every regret is like the wind passing through the grassy slope, leaving traces lightly. Feng Liang's works are filled with the atmosphere of Tibetan wilderness, the loneliness of urban life, the fateful desolation, and the lingering loss and longing in human nature. She writes about the snow in Tibet without exaggerating the desolation; she writes about the suffering in the world without indulging in sadness. Everyone who pursues "musk" will see his own shadow in the net.
