Reader comments
This book is very enlightening, especially its discussion of fate and legend, which reminded me of García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude". The sense of mystery and fate in the story is just like the fate of the Buendía family in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which makes people think deeply. Moreover, Ge Fei's writing is very charming, and the beauty of classical Chinese is intoxicating. I think this book is like a wonderful encounter with words, which makes people immersed in it and feel the charm of literature.
Ge Fei is a representative figure of avant-garde literature. "Brown Birds" uses a montage technique to edit the novel into fragments, which is full of mystery.
One of the top writers of contemporary Chinese literature, and the second book I read of his works. The last story attracted me, but I didn't like the other stories very much.
This is a collection of short stories, each story is different, you can see what is different about them.
