Reader comments

This book is like a wise man chatting with you and sharing his life experience. The anecdotes in the literary world and the stories of celebrity interactions in the book reminded me of my own experience in college, and also gave me a more three-dimensional understanding of those literary figures. The author Wu Taichang uses plain language to describe what he sees, hears and feels, making people feel his sincerity and erudition. This book is not only a memoir about literature, but also a revelation about life.
