Cockroach (mcewan's Bilingual Work)
About This Novel
British national writer McEwan's latest novella, When Kafka Encountered "Brexit", is a tribute to "The Metamorphosis"; a bilingual masterpiece, an authentic appreciation of McEwan's elegant and wise writing style; exquisite structure, bold innovation, inheriting the legacy of Jonathan Swift. "Cockroach" is McEwan's latest novella, which describes the magical experience of a cockroach: after crawling from the Houses of Parliament to the Prime Minister's residence, after waking up, the cockroach found that it had occupied the body of Prime Minister Jim Sams, and at the same time became the most powerful man in Britain. As the British Prime Minister, Jim Sams's mission is to realize the will of the people - to implement "reversalism" in the UK and even to promote it around the world. Neither opposition outside the party, dissidents within the party, nor the principles of parliamentary democracy can hinder the new prime minister from completing his mission. In addition to the novel's obvious tribute to Kafka's classic work "The Metamorphosis", McEwan also inherited the mantle of Jonathan Swift and used the ancient form of political satire to express his feelings about the dilemma of Britain's "Brexit" and brought the art form of irony to an unparalleled height. At the same time, this novella, which is exquisitely structured and boldly innovative, still displays typical McEwan wisdom and smooth writing style. The bilingual text in Chinese and English allows readers to appreciate McEwan's elegant and wise words in an original way while appreciating the Chinese translation.
