"With It" collects 12 of the most classic short and medium-length works by the famous writer Chu Fujin, including "Rain Pool Slope", "With It", "Thirty in the Mirror", "Wheel of Love", and the "Chess Language" series of novels...

"Nightmare" consists of 25 story fragments that resemble both dreams and reality. Part of it describes the absurd helplessness in real life, and part of it is full of psychedelic surrealism. Daily life in Yageta's writing is like "a prison composed of a huge absurd nonsense."

Nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature 21 times, the true "uncrowned king" of the Nobel Prize, the work of Graham Greene, the master British novelist of the 20th century, the legendary life of a famous British writer, a shocking group painting of the turbulent fifty years of the 20th century, and a masterpiece in the field of writer's autobiography. For many writers, writing is an escape from real life; for others, an adventure-like life is an escape from boring writing. Graham Greene clearly falls into the latter category. This is also the origin of this autobiography. The curse of his personality prevents him from stopping to look for danger - obviously, a boring, monotonous and peaceful life is more terrifying than the shadow of death. There is no doubt that Gray is a brave man and has his own principles of justice; his escapes are not only bizarre adventures, but also fighting in his own way.

Green's literary creation and achievements are closely related to his ideological contradictions and even mental illness. His life is like his novels, and he himself is a character in his works. In the late period of his life and creation, he deliberately calmed down and recounted his life and ideological experiences from the beginning, thus creating two masterpieces in the field of autobiography: "Life Was Like This" (1971) and "The Road to Escape" (1980). "The Guardian" and "The Times Literary Supplement" honestly praised it as "one of the most outstanding achievements in autobiographical writing". In "Life Was Like This", Green recalls his student days and Oxford years, how he encountered psychoanalysis and Russian roulette in adolescence, his marriage and conversion to Catholicism, and how he hurriedly resigned from The Times after the publication of his first novel to become a professional writer.
