Rouge Basin
by Jian Yu
About This Novel
There is a strange rouge body odor in Taipei, like a piece of balm mixed with various flower essences. It accidentally fell into a wrinkled waste pond, slowly relaxed in the rain and sun, came to life, evaporated the demonic mist in the clouds, and learned how to be a captive. People, let them suffer between wildness and conservatism, reincarnate in chaos and clarity, be entangled in obsession and oblivion, breathe between the sacred and the vulgar, wander between abandonment and return, and keep crawling in despair and longing. The book extensively records the trainee career of "I", a middle-aged soul who has not yet been cured of the chronic illness of wandering, in a city called "Taipei". Starting from "Rouge Basin", Jian Yue shifted his focus from the introspection of expressing personal experience in his early years to the observation of the gap between urban and rural areas and the human feelings in the world.
