The Witness (canetti Collection)
About This Novel
As the author Canetti said, if you want to describe a person truthfully, you can write an entire book. Even so, the person is still not described in detail. But if people explore how they remember a person, they will find that what makes a person unique is a few characteristics. In this book, "Ear Witness", Canetti describes, or "invents" fifty kinds of personalities, which are extremely reflected in individual people and become their respective personality labels, such as "Celebrity Licker", "Tear Stoker", "Blatant Eyes", "Disaster Observer", "Intoxicated Man", "Nothing Virgin", etc. These seemingly exaggerated labels are actually extremely real in nature. They are all components of human nature. Perhaps every reader can identify themselves and see themselves in several or even more labels that may be cute, absurd, despicable, or ugly. This collection of character sketches was written in 1974. Its greatest feature is the combination of humorous writing and pungent satire.
