Drunk Artist
by Gao Yu
About This Novel
"What is a hangover? A hangover is when the soul is out of the body, but it is still tied to the body. It can neither float away nor come back. At this stage, the concept of time will be blurred. You will feel that one second can be ten thousand years, and you will feel that half a lifetime is just a blink of an eye. Space will also become relative, and the universe will become only as big as the sofa you are lying on, but the toilet will seem to be far away from you. So far across the Milky Way. Only in this distorted state can we enter the "Dionysus Time". "Li Yan's Jiangzhou in the Three Kingdoms, Gauguin's Tahiti, Hemingway's Ritz Hotel... The contemporary artist Gao Yu uses the formula of the punching order as a framework to connect the stories of an ordinary person who is a "drunk artist" in twelve realistic and absurd scenes. In these scenes, the protagonist sometimes talks about the past and present in the streets and lanes, and sometimes travels between things. With his dual identity as an artist and a writer, Gao Yu seamlessly connects reality and surreality, and flows freely between literary allusions and art historical biography. In every scene, there is a drunken show of pain and pleasure.
