Happy World
About This Novel
In this collection of short stories, the author uses his consistent prose style and humorous and calm language to explore issues of power, ethics and justice, and explore the core of the meaning of human life together. "Letter from Love" tells the story of a not-too-distant possible future, in some kind of dystopian society, through touching letters between a grandfather and his grandson, awakening their responsibility to their ideals, themselves, and each other. The story of "Ghoul" takes place in the hell-themed part of an underground amusement park. The protagonist - Brian, a lonely and somewhat morally complex man, questions the things he takes for granted in life. In "Mother's Day" two women who love the same man face the dilemma of survival together at the center of a Fargo. In "Elliot Spencer", the 89-year-old protagonist suddenly discovers that his memory has been "cleansed" and he is the victim of a plan to transform all poor and weak people into political protesters... Joy and despair, oppression and resistance, weird fantasies and cruel reality... These nine short stories are like prisms, reflecting the common spiritual dilemma of mankind.
