Chapter 035: Reading Club

On Saturday morning, Jia Youwei went out dressed neatly. Today, he has a formal invitation from succinctly. Of course, it is not a date between men and women, but a book club.

For Jia Youwei, things related to personal interests and hobbies will naturally not be refused. What's more, the other party is still her daughter's homeroom teacher. It is quite necessary to have a certain personal relationship with her.

If you become friends with each other, then Jane will be more attentive to her friend's daughter. Jia Qianqian's various performances in school will also pass through her mouth into her ears.

Although the clothing worn by Jia Youwei is not an international brand, it is definitely a first-class good fabric in terms of material, and it is customized by a professional tailor master chef himself.

The pair of leather shoes on his feet had been worn for fifteen years, and he had bought them when he was just in college. I remember spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on the top private order.

Not only myself, but also many of my daughter's shoes will not only be wiped with the highest grade shoe polish, but also with high-grade champagne, red wine, white wine, etc.

Jia Youwei adheres to the principle of luxury and non-waste in life. Therefore, the clothes on his body are generally not new, but they are extremely well maintained.

This brings out the owner's extraordinary cultivation and taste, after all, it is a special person who will come to the door regularly to do related supporting services.

It is precisely because Jia Youwei and his daughter do not look as tall as the nouveau riche that they are often misunderstood as a manifestation of no money, but they are really full of low-key and luxurious connotations.

Jia Youwei didn't take a taxi and took a bus. According to the address given by the concise, he pushed the door and entered a small bookstore with a petty bourgeois atmosphere on the decoration.

"You're here. I thought you were lost. Jian Jian walked over towards Jia Youwei with a smile.

She turned around and stood side by side with him, snapping her palms twice to get the guests' attention. Seeing that everyone was looking at them, he said again: "I'll introduce it to you."

This one is the rising star writer Jia Youwei that I mentioned to you before. Not only was he the father of my student, but he also published the three short stories "Ordination", "The Chronicle of Da Nao", and "Butter Pancake" in the "Jingbei Literature". ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone took the initiative to stand up and gently slapped their palms to express their welcome to Jia Youwei. To that end, he nodded to everyone with a smile on his face.

Before that, concisely explained to himself clearly about their book club. It is a group of like-minded people who consciously and voluntarily form a group.

As the original initiator of the reading club, Jian Jian is also the leader of the group, so he has to contribute more and pay more attention. On weekdays, everyone uses the QQ group as an online position to express their opinions.

In addition, she or any other group of managers will take the lead and find a place to meet from time to time as an offline position.

Those who join the group need to be introduced by members, and the other needs to abide by the rules. All those who join the group do not talk about occupations, academic qualifications, or all worldly titles, but talk about the principle of meeting friends with books and only talking about literature.

Of course, this is a good starting point, even with idealistic feelings. As for the purpose, it is nothing more than equality for everyone, and don't think of the reading club as a social circle, a vanity fair.

However, once people get along with each other for a long time. This will inevitably "show the horse's feet". Each other knows what they do.

Jia Youwei sat on a chair at the forefront through concise personal guidance. She didn't choose to sit down, but stood opposite everyone and said with a smile: "First of all, thank you to our Xiao Tang, who selflessly provided the venue for us, and then delayed her business for half a day." Don, it's up to you to say a few words to you. ”

At this time, Tang Weiwei, who was sitting on Jia Youwei's left, took the initiative to stand up. She turned one hundred and eighty degrees to face the crowd.

He shyly pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and said with a faint smile: "I am not as great as Teacher Jian said."

It's not a delay in my business. After all, I don't have much business in my shop. As long as you remember to take care of the business of the small shop in the future. If you think I'm okay here, you might as well let me use this place as an offline fixed place for the book club. ”

After she finished speaking, with everyone's applause and laughter, she turned around and sat down again. Anyway, there's still humor.

Tang Weiwei joined this reading club not for profit, but out of a hobby. In recent years, fewer and fewer people have bought books, making it increasingly difficult for bookstores to make money by selling books.

If this bookstore doesn't provide water and dating functions, it will close its doors sooner or later. So, she kept up with the times and opened her bookstore on the street of the university town.

"The character of our book club this time is about the work of the late literary master Marquez. He is a representative of demonic realism in Latin America......" succinctly stated the content of today's event.

Jia Youwei once again felt the nagging mode from her. Although I was listening, I didn't listen very seriously. His face still looked as if he was listening, but he had something else in mind.

Concisely said all this, and it was still something he knew. Márquez is not known as a literary master of a generation only because he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

In the history of world literature, there are many writers who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and not everyone has become a recognized literary master.

A writer who has not won the Nobel Prize in Literature is not necessarily not called a master of literature. Among them, Borges, whom Marquez admired the most throughout his life, did not win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

No one can deny Borges's status as a literary master of a generation. In addition, Tolstoy, Ibsen, Hardy, Chekhov, Kafka, Gorky, Zola, Joyce, etc., did not win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The members of the Nobel Prize for Literature jury are old men and women. Their reading tastes have long been fixed, and their thinking tends to be conservative.

Kafka's and Joyce's forward-looking writing is difficult for them to recognize. Joyce's "Ulysses" was originally criticized as a little yellow book by that era, and it did not have the greatness that it has in the minds of many readers at all.

Moreover, the translations are all translated into Swedish. Among them, it is difficult to ensure that the charm of the original work is not weakened. In the end, the members of the jury favored the award of the prize to left-wing writers from other countries.
