I Drank Puffer Fish Soup Yesterday

About This Novel
"Drinking Fugu Soup Yesterday" is a collection of short essays by Hong Kong writer Miha. The title of the book is inspired by Matsuo Basho's haiku: Oh, luckily everything is fine! I had puffer fish soup yesterday. The book covers the lives and works of 50 great writers. By reviewing their little-known childhoods and past events, and interpreting the details of their works, it is discovered that great writers also have the same uneasiness and struggles as ordinary people. But they used writing to resolve difficulties, and perhaps readers can get some enlightenment from the wisdom of their words. Keigo Higashino, who has always been regarded as "socially afraid" by everyone, suddenly published his autobiography many years later, and then the mystery that he had created for many years was lifted. It turned out that he was also a "delinquent" and a "waste". There is a couple in one of Marquez's short stories. When life is about to begin, the wife asks her husband: "What shall we eat next?" He replies: "Eat shit." In fact, literature that is close to the truth of reality is the foundation of the works of the master of magical realism. Proust was miserable being controlled by his possessive mother. His ambivalence of resistance and attachment to her made him write the words "Always keep a sky in your life" in despair... And the author Miha continued to add: On a sky, there should not only be the sun, but also birds, white clouds, even rainbows and angels.
