Ten Essays on Shanghai-style Novels
by Wang Chunlin
About This Novel
The smoke on the Bund is ten miles away, and Shanghai-style culture is growing together. Critic Wang Chunlin used a huge amount of texts as accumulation, focusing on ten novels by six contemporary Shanghai-style writers, and wrote "Ten Essays on Shanghai-style Novels". From Wang Anyi to Jin Yucheng, from Wu Liang, Fan Qian, Xia Shang to Tang Ying, "the most accurate writer about Shanghai", Wang Chunlin peeled off the cocoons of his works through careful reading of the texts, "seeing the most native essence of Chinese culture in the foreign-style Shanghainese in the alley." "The language used by Wang Anyi in "Tianxiang" can be said to be a kind of novel language that is full of elegance, simplicity, simplicity, timelessness and full of bookishness." "The most noteworthy aspect of "Flowers" is that Yu Jin Yucheng, with his years of hidden practice in constructing urban poetics, has made valuable efforts in the construction of modern Chinese urban poetics. Critic Wu Liang's first full-length novel, "Morning Glow" after his magnificent turn, constituted a particularly strong "Shanghai whirlwind" in the literary world. "... Wang Chunlin provides an in-depth and thorough analysis of the historical questioning and daily narrative in Shanghai-style novels, from the perspective of knowledge. From the fate and spirit of the molecules to the long and charming boudoir legend, from the former queen of the Wang Xietang to the erotic wars of Shanghainese in New York, we carefully combed the past and present of Shanghai-style literature, and discovered the continuation and inheritance of Shanghai-style culture that is lively, fragrant, and appreciated by both refined and popular people.
