Flower Terror
Author: Wumingshi
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Prominent Chinese writer eloquently describes the oppression of intellectuals in his country between 1950s and 1970s in these twelve autobiographical novellas and short stories. Many of the stories are so shocking and heart-wrenching that one cannot but feel suffocated. In "A Glass of Water," neighbors ignore a feverish old woman's pleas for water because her son has been denounced as counter-revolutionary. In "The Fossil," a wife does not speak to her writer husband for three years, because he is under suspicion. The title story portrays the absurdity of the period in which flowers seemed so alien to the oppressive political atmosphere that they evoked a sense of terror in people's minds and hearts. PRAISES for Flower Terror: Suffocating Stories of China "Pu, one of China's most influential writers, writes of his embittering experiences clearly and fluently, without sentimentality or self-pity." -- Publishers Weekly "The stories in this work are well written." -- Library Journal "The twelve novellas and short stories reveal an articulate power of narration?" -- Midwest Book Review

Mongoose

ISBN: 1434347400
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
It was a conscious decision, while reading Henry Miller's somewhat obscure book called The Time Of The Assassins and then getting into Rimbaud's Illuminations, it was a decision to write from my unconscious, and Hermitically as well. It was a difficult time when I first started on these writings, but I'm glad I wrote it down because the past vanishes practically into the vast blue nowhere, time is such a sneaky weasel. Its been a heck of a ride. Gradually though I become less introverted and the poems I think, their content and form, become more and more public, almost a kind of journalism, away from the freaky trapped scared and half nutshell crazed. Also around the time I started writing these poems I was catching my first real and protracted study of philosophy, in particular Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy. And technically as well as the ideas astounded me, really, and it really felt great to be able to read and then write, hoping to run parallel with philosophy and whatnot. This then, these precarious poems where walking the plank is for real, is..my attempt to climb out of my self, the ole mind-cage of lonesome fears, the shadowland, and enter in into the now of the implacable hub of no perspective but that of now. If there is a message to these poems its probably just in the inherent fact that one exists, lives, delves under and to, the very heart where mind and soul dance that eternity dance of one any how, way, and who.
