Investigation

About This Novel

A great novel in the style of George Orwell, an apocalyptic fable that breaks through the alienation of human existence. More than 20 suicide cases occurred in a large company. "I" was ordered to go to the town where the company is located to investigate the truth. However, the investigation work has repeatedly encountered obstacles. The whole town is in a weird atmosphere. The residents of the town have inexplicable hostility towards "me" and seem to be hiding ulterior secrets. "I" met all kinds of people, but all of them had no names and were only referred to by their professions, such as: police, guards, waiters, persons in charge, etc... The investigation itself has become meaningless. "I" sank deeper and deeper, gradually losing myself, and was finally locked in a can and disappeared without a trace. Absurd, cruel, and indifferent, it follows Kafka's "The Castle" and Voltaire's "The Innocent" with a desolate smile; it uses setting, focus, and transformation to pay homage to Chaplin's "Modern Times" and Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" with a film-like textual quality.
