About This Novel
Mo Yan and Wang Xiaobo praised! Calvino's "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword" work follows the day of a scrutineer at the Turin election station, focusing on the absurd reality and criticizing the absurdity of reality. During the 1953 elections, Olmea was appointed as a scrutineer at a polling station in Turin. In order to win votes, rival parties ushered hordes of disabled people to the polls: amidst barking, laughing, and hideous deformities of all kinds, they collected the votes of bedridden patients. Olmea watched and reflected, and he wanted to turn the tide... In "The Observer", which came out in 1963, Calvino cut into today's life without hesitation and asked penetrating questions about life. Calvino is no longer a writer who criticizes uncertainty personally and psychologically, but a writer who describes the objective existence of this uncertainty in reality: the essence of this reality is difficult to explore.
