About This Novel
Just after experiencing the ecstasy of love, her father suddenly passed away due to illness. The author Schulz felt disoriented and anxious. She avoided work, books, time, happiness, and reality. Like most people, she was obsessed with sadness and could not extricate herself, so she began to seek solace in poetry, which then extended to the exploration of gains and losses in life. In the end, she calmly accepted the reality: life is always counterproductive - sometimes you collapse, sometimes you recover; sometimes you are busy, sometimes boring; sometimes scary, sometimes absurd; sometimes funny, sometimes uplifting. It is impossible to escape this feeling of constant fusion. Schulz is known in the industry as "one of the greatest writers of our time." She once published an article in The New Yorker about an imminent major earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, for which she won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing, marking the first time that the Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to magazine media. In this book, Schulz uses her extensive knowledge and curiosity to wander between philosophy and intimacy, transforming a story about love and death into an exploration of chance and fate, sadness and happiness. Her elegant writing touches the most subtle truth deep in the human heart, which makes people suddenly enlightened after reading it. This is a warm, healing and rational philosophy of life. It is not a simple emotional catharsis, but a rational approach to the gains and losses of life with curiosity and insight from the perspective of different disciplines such as history, poetry, literature, psychology, etc. This is the best gift for people who are sad and worried.
