Montmartre Suicide Note
by Qiu Miaojin
About This Novel
In the summer of 1995, Taiwanese writer Qiu Miaojin committed suicide in Paris at the age of 26. The twenty-one letters in the "Montmartre Suicide Note" are the confession of life she left to the world. The intensity of love, the pain of betrayal, desperate possession and painful self-analysis, these words written by Qiu Miaojin record her courage and pursuit, as well as her confusion, obstacles and despair. She thinks about and reconstructs the law of love and the relationship between love and death, life and art based on her real and painful physical and mental experiences. A large number of Western art films and classic literature mentioned in "Montmartre Posthumous Letter" form a series of deep secret paths, showing the growth pedigree of Qiu Miaojin's spiritual world. It is the spiritual reflection of a generation of young people in Taiwan. Through it, one can also witness the profound scenery of the times. "With such a soul existing, the world is so beautiful, and I can't bear to die." I hope this will be everyone's admiration after reading "Montmartre's Suicide Note".

French translation paragraph
His former youth seemed stranger to him than a disease in his life. She has gradually come out of it and discovered that even without happiness, a person can live by abolishing happiness. She meets a large group of previously invisible people who live like a work - with tenacity, diligence, and happiness. What Anna experienced before having a family was always beyond her reach: a restless excitement often confused by an unsustainable happiness. In return, she created something ultimately understandable, an Ault life. Just as she wished and chose. Clarice Lispeck, love.
