About This Novel
"Are we finished? We've only just begun!" Man San, a popular author of serialized columns on Douban and ONE, and the standard bearer of "Depressive Style" writing, is the latest story collection. This book contains a total of fifteen works. The fifteen stories are all about the embarrassing and unlucky moments that the heroes and heroines in the city encountered in their daily lives. "A Worry at Work" tells the story of a private restaurant manager who, in order to improve his family's living conditions, agreed to a mysterious man's commission to secretly photograph his customers while they were dining. As a result, he fell into a huge personal crisis. In "The Life of an Ostrich", people will transform into different animals as their temperament changes. As an honest taxi driver, the protagonist is an ostrich. One day he picked up a wolf and fell into a dangerous situation. The young couple in "Monkey Change" lost their child when they returned to their hometown for the New Year. In the end, the wife recognized a monkey as her own child, which triggered the ultimate conflict between the couple. In "Sumatra and Tiger", a stay-at-home wife goes to the street to buy a delicious cup of coffee, which eventually turns into a street murder... A mirror that reflects the times. A guide to resolving the embarrassments of life. A collection of wonderful stories that are poignant, sad and uplifting for everyone right now. In these interesting and sincere stories, Slow San has found a zone of fiction between darkness and faint light. In the display of the simplest life scenes, there is a shadowy effect, like the reflection of a pool of water on a cliff. In that reflection we may see torrents of affection and doubt.
