New Yorker
by Bai Xianyong
About This Novel
One spring in 1965, the author began writing "The Exorcist" on a table in a park along the Iowa River. At that time, the spring was warm, the ice in the Iowa River melted, and the buds and leaves in the Iowa River began to show new green. At that time, the author designated this novel as the first in the "New Yorker" series, and quoted Chen Zi'ang's "Going to Youzhou Taiwan Song" as the epigraph and postscript. Perhaps the author felt that Li Tong's final feeling of loneliness was as profound as "the longness of heaven and earth"... But a century has passed, and "New York" has gradually retreated into a distant "magic city" in the author's heart. The city gate is wide open, and it is still unconditionally accepting some wandering souls.

There is a kind of pain, the loss from heaven to hell. You will understand it after reading Bai Xianyong's book.
Ever since I read Mrs. Yu Qing in college, I have liked Bai Xianyong very much. Among the leading Chinese writers, the first among men is Pai Hsien-yong, and among women the first is Zhang Ailing.
Who can share it?

I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Is it true that everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their heart?
