Literary Memoirs: 1989-1994
by Narrated By Mu Xin And Recorded By Chen Danqing
About This Novel
Literature is lovely. Life is fun. Art requires sacrifice. In the late 1980s, when Mu Xin was living in New York, and since he resumed writing and continued to publish books, his mainland Chinese and Taiwanese colleagues in New York were looking for a living in foreign countries, which actually led to Mu Xin's lecture on "History of World Literature". This was a "literary expedition" that lasted five years. From the beginning of the class on January 15, 1989, to the last class on January 9, 1994, each lecturer took turns providing his own living room. There were painters, dancers, historians, sculptors, etc. Present. Today, student Chen Danqing has compiled five volumes of lecture notes from those five years, totaling 85 lectures and more than 400,000 words. When he compiled this big book, he no longer regarded it as just a "lecture on the history of world literature." Just as Mu Xin originally envisioned, this is his own "literary memoir" and an "absurd novel" that "overcomes this era in his own body." This is also Mu Xin's gift to the world, the gospel of literature.
