After being on the "face-to-face", Zhuang Yan saw an article by Qin Lixin, and the website was indeed afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he put Qin Lifa's two articles and Zhuang Yan's FOF side by side on the homepage, as if he was afraid that others would not see it.

The new article is indeed very fierce, and it has directly evolved into a life attack, except that Zhuang Yan's name is not directly said, this is like a blood-splashed article, all kinds of hats are buttoned on Zhuang Yan's head, and the most disgusting thing is that the hat is still smeared with feces.

However, Zhuang Yan read it lightly, because he had already seen Qin Li's hysteria from the article, although the words were all crepe, but it was no different from a shrew scolding the street.

Sure enough, after Qin Li's article came out, there was a lot of scolding on the Internet, and the main scolding was the sentence Qin Li said at the beginning of the article, "A servant, a man without a father and a mother".

Netizens all said, if you criticize, you will criticize, why even take out the things that people don't have parents and say, how poisonous this heart is.

However, Zhuang Yan is also a little strange, his identity has never been announced to the public, how can anyone know that he is an orphan? After reading it on the Internet for a while, he realized that it was originally shaken out by a website in the literary and art circles. However, apart from the fact that he is an orphan, the literary and art website does not say anything else.

But this is enough for netizens to play, and all of them seized this point and began to scare Qin Li. And among these netizens who scolded Qin Li, there were some strange people who appeared, and some netizens were sharp-eyed and found that some people were the ones who helped Qin Li scold Zhuang Yan before. What's even more awesome is that it is these people who will scold Qin Li the most.

In fact, Qin Li was also wronged, the "fatherless and motherless" in his mouth is similar to "no king and no father", which does not mean that there are no parents at all. And he didn't know that Zhuang Yan was an orphan, if he knew, he would at least keep an eye on it.

But netizens who will care if you know it or not, they think that since you say it, it means that you think like this.

also blamed himself for his bad luck, Zhuang Yan shook his head, closed the website, the new book was about to be released on the website of the literary and art world, how could he have the heart to care about these bloody things.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Yan calmed down, clicked on the previously edited "Metamorphosis" document, this article has been in the folder for several days, and it is time to release it.

is about to release "Metamorphosis", Zhuang Yan's mood is very complicated, it is undeniable that this book is a very good book, Zhuang Yan has read it several times in his last life, of course, the reason why he has read it several times is also related to Kafka's narrative is a little awkward.

Many people say that Kafka's book is a bit obscure, because his narration is very special, and he does not pay attention to the clarity of the story, the typicality of the characters, and the specificity of the environment.

Everyone knows that characters, plot, and environment are the three major elements of a novel, but in Kafka's novels, these three elements are very blurred, and often you read the previous paragraph and then jump to another situation.

If I say it alone, this may be Kafka's unsuccess, but it is also what makes him special. The reason why it can be considered special, rather than a failure, is that his novels use symbolism to the extreme, in addition to these three elements.

The meaning conveyed by this symbol is neither incomprehensible or obscure, nor clear and self-explanatory, but rather mysterious.

Many people may not understand this, but it is much clearer to give an example.

For example, if there is a mountain in front of the protagonist now, then readers will definitely not think that this is a simple mountain, it may represent an obstacle on the protagonist's path to success, or an enemy on the road of life, but what it represents needs to be understood from other narratives. (I say this, do you know a little bit about it?)

This is the case with Kafka's books, but his symbolism is generally a little more absurd than that of the "mountain".

In addition to Kafka's narration, Zhuang Yan was a little worried that readers would not be able to accept it, and he was also a little worried that the background of the book was not China.

But then he thought of the precedent of "Alive", and felt that the environmental background of "Metamorphosis" was not very important, because the story was the same in any setting, and what he told was not too contemporary.

In fact, this book was originally a work of the early twentieth century, and because of this, Zhuang Yan deliberately checked it on the Internet before and found that there was no Kafka person, and of course there would be no book "Metamorphosis". Otherwise, if he sends the book, won't it make people laugh out of their big teeth?

In a way, "Metamorphosis" is better than "Alive", at least for Zhuang Yan now. Because although "Alive" does not focus very much on the vast book of ten years, there are still some limitations of the times in this regard.

This is why many people still question the background in it after reading "Alive", although they like it very much, including Qin Li's previous article criticizing Zhuang Yan, "Alive" is just a child's dream.

The Metamorphosis is different, it has no limitations at all, it is a work of the early twentieth century, but people in the twenty-first century will still have a deep sense of what this book expresses without knowing Kafka's living environment at all.

Including in the 21st century, the United States also released a cult movie "District 9", and a large part of the story in it is a reference to "Metamorphosis". (The film isn't very famous, but it's pretty good, but the footage of the film may not be liked by many people.) ）

After thinking a lot, Zhuang Yan sent the document of "Metamorphosis" to Wang Lijian in the form of an email, and the other party quickly replied that he had received it, and said that after he finished reading it, Zhuang Yan would arrange publicity matters, and suggested that Zhuang Yan post it on the Internet at seven o'clock in the evening.

……

Wang Lijian received the email sent to him by Zhuang Yan, picked up his glasses and put them on, replied to the message and said a few words to Zhuang Yan before clicking on the folder.

"Metamorphosis?" Wang Lijian saw the title of the book and slowly chewed it twice in his mouth, trying to guess what the book would be about.

When he first saw the word "Metamorphosis", he thought of the short story "Chameleon" by the Russian literary master Chekhov, and then even thought of the seventy-two changes of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West".

Shaking his head and smiling unconsciously, Wang Lijian clicked on the document, but immediately his eyebrows furrowed.

Gregor Samsha...... Became a beetle......? Sounds like a foreigner?"

Wang Lijian was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhuang Yan's new book to be written by a foreigner, and although he didn't read a few sentences, this writing style was completely different from the previous "Alive".
