About This Novel
Electric walkers wandering on high-voltage power lines in the countryside, smugglers in fishing villages, spiritualists in the mountains, corpse-layers whose profession is death, street performers in dark alleys in Taipei... Twelve stories, twelve aspects of life, a strange story about Taiwan's countryside in the mist and rain. The protagonists of the story are all marginalized people in modern society. The author uses the perspective of a child to narrate the lives of his father and mother. Although each story has a clear rural location, it is not limited to rural stories or rural legends. These locations can be substituted for any time and space in ancient and modern times, or east and west. Moreover, the modernist techniques and existential thinking in it also give the novel a depth that is not found in ordinary rural novels.
