"Documentary and Fiction" is undoubtedly Wang Anyi's highly autobiographical work. It is a city man's self-explanation and self-tracing. As an "autobiographical" novel, "Documentary and Fiction" is not only a fiction of personal experience, but also a documentary presentation of fictional behavior. That is, it not only tells us what she experienced, but also tells us how to "narrate" it.
Reader comments
This book is very meaningful. It allowed me to see the inner world of the author Wang Anyi. I like the way the book interweaves reality and fiction, it feels very novel. Moreover, I was particularly interested in the protagonist's growth experience, as if I saw myself. This book is both like the author's autobiography and also contains some fictional elements, which is very interesting.
