About This Novel
"It's Raining in Macondo" collects ten novels written by Zhou Yuyang, a post-95s writer, in recent years. He uses his vigorous imagination to build a new world and write about bizarre realities and secret emotions. The ten novels include "Nautilus", "Through a Cornfield", "Year of the Tiger", "Genting Driver", "The Moon Also Rises", "The Island Is Surrounded by Water", etc. Many of them have been published in literary journals and have been well received. "Macondo" is a fictional city in García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude". "It's raining in Macondo" comes from the mouth of the character Gerineldo in the book, expressing loneliness and sadness. The title of this book reflects Zhou Yuyang's inheritance of the magical realism writing style. The novel seems absurd at first glance, but becomes melancholy upon closer reading. Most of the stories in the novel are set in unknown villages or complicated cities; the characters wander on the edge of life: a teenager obsessed with studying perpetual motion machines, a driver in a cloud-top tower crane, the last female textile worker in mankind, and a frustrated young man obsessed with the city. In a magical style, he tells interesting and legendary stories, revealing people's hidden emotions.
