Q: Novel Monthly A: A B
Q
Tell us about a book you've read recently.
A: Recently I was reading James Joyce's Ulysses, my second reading. It has the power of witchcraft, not that I am looking at it line by line, but that line by line is grasping me, making it impossible for me to break free, so exhausted. The author devotes a very long description of Bloom's experience on June 16, 1904, mainly the experience of consciousness, but also the enjoyment and torture of consciousness, which means that he can only endure a man named Boylan to go to his house at four o'clock in the afternoon to meet with his wife. Joyce testified for his time. We enter his time through his works.
Please describe what you have just finished or are working on.
A: Writing the novel "Fiancee". After writing for more than two years, I have written 350,000 words, and it is estimated that I will write 700,000 words. It is the result of the influence exerted on tiny authors like me, such as "Remembrance of the Watery Years" and "Ulysses", which have been of extremely high quality. I can no longer write a novel in a minimalist way, with the mentality of telling a story well. After reading them, I felt that the responsibility was on my shoulders, to show myself and the spiritual world of my peers through words. "Fiancée" writes an action, the protagonist "I" because of love at first sight for a person, began to act towards her, towards marriage. I wrote in a little bit of nobility of "me," a lot of snobbery and impetuosity. In the future, someone who wants to understand my time through my work can't find the answer in my short story collection, but in long stories like "Fiancee" and "Wake Me Up at Nine in the Morning", he can see some real things about our current era.
Do you think writers can be trained?
A: It can be cultivated, and even urgently needs to be cultivated. For example, after only ten minutes of communicating with the writer Ge Fei, my understanding of literature has improved a lot. Give an example of why writers can be cultivated. For example, if an author writes a lot of stories, if a teacher seriously says: "The plot is a bad plot, and the story is a bad story." "He is likely to reduce his practice in this area (because the more he writes, the more he will not form increments). Writers, readers, and researchers have long been without a good story, and the news has become more exciting than the novel.
