Misread the Book
by Xiao Xiaoshu
About This Novel
"The Book of Misreadings" is a collection of short literary works that attempts to create a new form of expression, fictionalizing fragments of the stories of dozens of mathematicians, philosophers, scientists and artists, from Pythagoras to Kurt Gödel. The text tries to achieve a self-referential structure, with an important thought of the subject of the story guiding the plot and language presented in the story: mapping from Leibniz's logical language conception to the cry of the fictional unicorn, mapping from Cantor's one-to-one correspondence rule to the exploration of complete and accurate expression... It is a topology of language and thought, but also a one-sided expression that cannot achieve completeness in nature. The text uses a large number of metaphors, magic and poetic descriptions to show the author's dialogue, deconstruction, abstraction and reconstruction of a new world with many thinkers.
