About This Novel
A collection of short stories, including fifteen short stories by the author. The image of the sycamore tree often appears in Li Er's short stories. There are very few pure descriptions of scenery in Li Er's novels, but he gave the sycamore tree a large space. Two-thirds of his novels mention the sycamore tree. The sycamore tree stands quietly in these novels and becomes a part of the scenery in the novel. In these novels, the image of the sycamore tree is combined with light and shadow. Li Er has been searching for a distinctive way of speaking through his unique creations, presenting readers with a vast and fuzzy middle zone. In this territory, there are a series of combinations to mark it. Among them, "voice" is always an important image, and intertextual dialogue is an important narrative strategy. Dialogue theory was proposed by Bakhtin when discussing Dostoyevsky's novels and Rabelais's novels. Subsequently, many writers applied it to their creative practice. Dialogue theory is prominently displayed as intertextual dialogue in Li Er's novels.
