About This Novel
"Moral Stories" is a collection of Coetzee's short stories. The Chinese version is introduced for the first time, including "Dogs", "Stories", "Vanity", "When Women Get Old", "Old Women and Cats", "Lies" and "Glass Slaughterhouse", a total of seven stories. The novel uses mother and child, love and desire, youth and aging, and the relationship between humans and animals as entry points. It uses speculative dialogue and psychological portrayal to create a female image with rich heart and distinctive personality. The story is concise but meaningful, presenting Coetzee's deep thinking on the nature of human morality and the situation of life. A reader's comment on the Goodread page reads: "The seven stories are all shallow and profound. Some passages need to be read repeatedly to understand the author's meaning. I will keep this book and read it frequently 20 years later." "When I first heard about Coetzee, the Nobel Prize winner, I thought his novels were difficult and obscure; after reading these stories, I found that his style is actually clear, profound, and light."

Because this is the physical book in the event, let's take a look at the electronic version. The first three stories are quite interesting, but the last four can actually be said to be the same story. I was a little confused when reading it. In the first story, I saw class and conquest? In the second, I was disloyal once and again. Third, if you are yourself, you will sometimes be criticized and gossiped by others.
