About This Novel
Among Wang Shou's novel creations, his short stories are the most praised by critics. He selected 16 short stories from his creations in the past twenty years and compiled them into this collection of short stories. In the novel, there are men and women who are ready to act but are restrained by morality, there are also "rascals" in the state-owned milk factory who seem to be arrogant but actually love their daughters deeply, and there are also middle-aged couples who absurdly argue whether it is better to buy a car or a horse... What is described is the life and life of the little people, the details are solid and powerful, full of rich pyrotechnics, and at the same time occasionally mixed with absurd elements and avant-garde narratives. The language is concise and smooth, full of humor, and has an exquisite structure. It often uses symbolic fragments to unearth the truth of reality, delve into the depths of human nature, and make people think.
