Investigation

A great novel in the style of George Orwell, an apocalyptic fable that breaks through the alienation of human existence. More than 20 suicide cases occurred in a large company. "I" was ordered to go to the town where the company is located to investigate the truth. However, the investigation work has repeatedly encountered obstacles. The whole town is in a weird atmosphere. The residents of the town have inexplicable hostility towards "me" and seem to be hiding ulterior secrets. "I" met all kinds of people, but all of them had no names and were only referred to by their professions, such as: police, guards, waiters, persons in charge, etc... The investigation itself has become meaningless. "I" sank deeper and deeper, gradually losing myself, and was finally locked in a can and disappeared without a trace. Absurd, cruel, and indifferent, it follows Kafka's "The Castle" and Voltaire's "The Innocent" with a desolate smile; it uses setting, focus, and transformation to pay homage to Chaplin's "Modern Times" and Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" with a film-like textual quality.

"McTeague: A San Francisco Story" is Frank Norris's masterpiece. It was published in 1899 and is known as the "Manifesto of American Naturalism." This book is based on real events. In 1893, a San Francisco man, Patrick Collins, murdered his miserly wife in an extremely brutal way and was eventually sentenced to hanging. Norris drew inspiration from the murder and wrote the classic novel "McTeague." The first half of the book truly describes the life of the lower class people in San Francisco at the end of the 19th century. The second half attributes the tragedy of the protagonist McTeague to a physical defect. The author describes his "kind appearance as an undercurrent of evil flowing from generation to generation." However, this work was once fiercely attacked by the American literary circle because of its bloody plot and comprehensive expression of the depravity of human nature. In the 1920s, the study of Norris experienced a renaissance. "McTeague" began to receive widespread attention again.
