Summer Hesitation
by Li Yu
About This Novel
Thirteen short stories, the background is suffering, but what emerges are rivers and dusk. The falling dusk in Li Yu's works is a warning of the coming turmoil; the flowing water of the river is the imminent reappearance of history and memory. All kinds of blood, tears and pain, she uses the eyes of an art historian to turn the noise into desolation, presenting a light and distant picture. What connects countless pictures is the "multiple citation" technique proposed by Li Yu as a novelist. The perspective is extended, time and space are switched, and the story comes and goes; the faces that have gone through hardships also change, they are officers, spies, painters, and singers, and they seek the possibility of redemption amidst the chaos and wandering.
