Lonely Game
About This Novel
In "The Game of Loneliness", which is composed of seven short stories, Yuan Zhesheng repeatedly captures loneliness, the "sense of dilemma that all human beings must face" through various interpersonal emotions, such as the affection between parents and sons, the friendship between classmates when they were young, or the love between two people who have been married for many years. The feeling of loneliness is everywhere in the words. Loneliness has always been a common theme in literary works, and it is also an emotion that many writers strive to describe. However, when we carefully taste Yuan Zhesheng's calm and controlled words in "The Lonely Game", we will eventually discover a kind of lonely writing that is unique to Yuan Zhesheng.
