Outside the Windbreak
General Fiction防风林的外边
Huang Qitai
Standing in the windbreak forest, Huang Qitai gazed at the scenery outside and wrote 11 stories about his inner feelings, reflecting episodes such as gender inversion, conflict of desires, and schizophrenia. By using meta-forms and basing the stories on the border between subjective imagination and objective reality, these works contain a unique atmosphere. This special collection of short stories is also a text on the verge of extinction. Fiction and reality penetrate each other, characters and creators invade each other, and everything seems to be in a state of self-possession; but in the end, when the text approaches the limit of disintegration, the novelist summons the most primitive aspect of "writing" at the impossible end of the soul.
