About This Novel

"I ran away to find the world. I ran to make up for the time to act. But I saw that the world was escaping faster than I was." - Le Clézio, one of the greatest contemporary French writers and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is an early representative work. It is a poetic journey of escape on the eve of his birth, taking risks in reality and imagination, and moving from lies to truth. This is a unique adventure novel in the world, and every sentence can hit your bones: 29-year-old Vietnamese youth Ogang embarks on a global trip, which increasingly becomes a permanent escape from life. From Cambodia to Japan, from New York to Montreal and Toronto, he saw bizarre cities, deserts, mountains, and coasts, poverty, famine, and death. He wandered around the world, but kept escaping from the world. "Must go further, further. I run away in order to no longer know anything about the future. Cursed are the coming years, the blind years! I don't want to see the door opened again. I must leave everything that seems like reality but is just a lie."
