The Savages of Wu Village (a Collection of Novels by Contemporary Chinese Writers Called "sharp Power")
by Chen Jiyi
About This Novel
This book consists of 6 novellas. The themes of the stories all come from the place where the author lived, Wucun. These novels show remarkable characteristics in their creative techniques: although they give readers a realist impression, they also make people feel a bit avant-garde and weird after reading them. Presented through vivid characters one by one, the novel focuses on the combination of imagination, humor, critical spirit and real life, or writes about the absurdity of survival, or the complexity of human nature, or the impermanence of fate, all of which bring strong ideological impact and space for thinking to readers. Most of these novels tell "anti-traditional" stories with a traditional realist attitude, which is a concrete example of the author's novel style of "preferring modern writing".
