About This Novel

"Long Journey Into the Night" is an autobiographical work that describes the daily life of four members of the Talon family from morning to night. They complained, sarcastically, quarreled, talked and reconciled. It does not seem to have much drama, but its inherent tension makes the audience feel a sense of nervous suffocation, because the corrosive power of vulgar life on the good things in human nature is demonstrated here in a natural and thrilling way. He used his own personal experience and his family's misfortune as material, and relentlessly made the pain and the most unspeakable truths of his family public to the public. In his works, scandals and misfortunes in the family such as his father's stinginess, his mother's drug abuse, his brother an alcoholic, himself suffering from lung disease, his beloved son's early death, etc. Are all revealed in the play, showing amazing boldness and magnanimity.
