Luxury Poverty
About This Novel
Mori Mori, a legendary Japanese female writer, the beloved daughter of Meiji writer Ogai Mori, and a "master of language" highly praised by Yukio Mishima. Some people compare her to Kawabata Yasunari and Osamu Dazai, while others say she is the "Japanese Eileen Chang" because of her delicate and sharp writing, which captures the prosperity and romance of the Meiji period. Others say she is a Lolita who writes, with an eternal girl in her heart. Mori Moli's life is as legendary as her works. She got married twice when she was young and lived in poverty in her later years. She went from being a daughter of a wealthy family to being a tenant in a low-cost apartment. The title of the book "Luxury and Poverty" is actually the spiritual victory declaration of Mori Moli, who was down and out in her later years: "Although I am poor, I am a noble in spirit." Luxury is not necessarily monetary, it can also be spiritual. People with a rich spirit will retain their childlike innocence at any age. Especially women, you can still have a little bit of girlishness at any age!

Except for the last few chapters, the thoughts and words in many chapters feel scattered. I don't know whether it is a problem of translation or lack of concentration. Mori Moli is a model who was pampered by her father and became a cripple. The original film that fixed her life has a certain difference. As love is engraved into her bones and blood, it seems that under the contrast of different times, she is also very different from ordinary people.
