About This Novel
"The Sure Fire" contains three novellas by Guo Shuang, a rising writer and screenwriter born in the 1980s. It naturally presents the tenacity and beauty of three pairs of women in flesh-and-blood words. A pair of friends who have known each other for thirty years use friendship to resist displacement, and their destinies overlap like lush bougainvillea; a single mother tries her best to support her daughter, but her daughter is obsessed with chasing stars. They wrestle, compromise, and reconcile; two female writers become friends year-round because of their appreciation of the beauty of the details of daily life, and maintain authentic intellectual exchanges over the long years. Guo Shuang's writing is strong and full of philosophical thoughts, laying out their unyielding exploration of the true meaning of life in the vivid southwestern Mandarin.
