"The Fruit of Time" is an essay on reading and life by the writer Rigo, divided into two parts: "Yezhou" and "Negishi": "Yezhou" contains Rigo's literary criticism: from the ambiguous aesthetics of the French New Wave to the implicit human beauty of the East in "Snow", from Benjamin with a cold feeling to the hot and bumpy Tsvetaye Baby, from the Nagai Hefeng who walks slowly and loves slowly to the wandering Naipaul, from Gu Jingzhou who has "the sadness of a partridge and the mood of picking chrysanthemums" to Ye Jiaying of classical literary heart... From the breath of words to the pulse of the city, from the body temperature of books to the taste of vegetarian food, in countless moments of spiritual awakening, listen to the echo deep in your heart.
When she arrived at "Negishi", Li Ge focused her writing on daily life: a pair of glasses, a pencil, Yun's name, a pot... In her writing, ordinary daily life is also full of unique and exquisite interest. In the life of a "literary youth" who has persisted in reading for decades, people and books have become intertextual and dependent on each other. Li Ge has condensed her reading and aesthetic experience into a book, which complements her own growth trajectory and finds poetry in ordinary life.
Reader comments
This book is like a dear friend, sharing her unique insights on literature and life with you. Li Ge's writing is delicate and profound, making people feel her love for books and daily life. Her comments will not only inspire you to think about literary works, but also allow you to discover poetry in ordinary life. This reminds me of Somerset Maugham's "Reading is a Portable Refuge". They both show the integration of reading and life from a unique perspective. I believe that everyone who loves reading and life will find resonance in "The Fruit of Time".
Although there are a few parts that are hard for me to accept🥲, there are more than a dozen underlined parts. The good sentences are enough to offset the unpleasantness, so I think it is still 5 stars. It mentioned a lot of books and writers I love, so now I am going to read Tanizaki Junichiro. Goodbye, I will come to see you again this month, and I will read your horoscope book.
Oh, 25 places are underlined. Well, by the way, the horoscope sign means silence. I gave it a nickname hehe [making a face]
