Chapter 375: I'm Not "The One in a Suit"
Calling Locke away, Matthews picked up the Awakening.
The author named HYF was indeed talented, and his "The Minister" can be said to have opened up a new line of critical literature. This line is no longer the same as the previous serious criticism, but borrows things as metaphors, or as metaphors for people, and through the use of metaphors, symbols, and irony, the original critical literature has suddenly risen to a new level.
Moreover, this writing technique is very novel, not to mention ordinary readers, even if it is the author of professional writing, after reading it, their eyes are all bright. Like his Chancellor, Matthews still remembers the gangster-like protagonist, the insatiable mayor, and the comical-looking postman.
Such talents are naturally much stronger than Hughes, Dawes, and George.
Fortunately, this author is a newcomer, and if it weren't, one of his "The Chancellors" would probably attract the attention of the entire American literary community. Fortunately, my side made a quick decision and counterattacked faster. Otherwise, when this new writer grows up, let alone them, even the well-known writers in the whole of America may not be able to do anything about him.
However, Obilee, the founder of the Awakening Newspaper, is an old fox and may not let HYF confront us head-on.
It seems that you have to contact this author privately, and if you can, you can poach it to your own side.
Matthews is a well-known writer in California on the one hand, and a face for the mainstream media in California on the other. Many authors have been introduced and helped by Matthews to become professional writers. However, also in many cases. Many authors are under the strong suppression of Matthews. Their pseudonyms were never seen again.
I thought about it for a moment. Matthews dressed up slightly and chose to go out.
……
California Literary Exchange Group.
The California Literature Exchange Group is a group of exchange and discussion groups created by a group of lovers who love to read literature.
Unlike China, the United States does not have the concept of online literature, but the United States has a strong e-book classification.
The so-called e-book is actually similar to a literary work published on paper. However, because it is an electronic version, users only need to read it on their mobile phones or on an e-reader, and many American friends like to read works with an e-reader that looks very close to paper reading. Because e-books are too large. Basically, you can find any work in reality in an e-reader, of course, including newspaper and magazine articles.
At this time, the literary exchange group was very lively, and it seemed that something was being discussed.
"Guys, I've been interested in critical literature lately, can anyone introduce a couple of writers who write critical literature, preferably our authors here in California, of course.
A group member bubbled in the group and said.
"I recently found a good critical novel by a newcomer author.
Soon, other group members answered.
"Newcomer?
"Yes. The minister of the Chin Cha written by an author named HYF is very funny. It's also ironic, it's well written, you can check it out. ”
The mention of HYF immediately aroused the interest of other group members.
"I also read the minister, it's really well written, it's the best short story I've ever read. ”
"So you've discovered this novel, and I'd like to recommend it to everyone. ”
Everyone was praising them, and the group members who were originally asking said again, "It seems that this author named HYF has written quite well, and I will search for the articles he wrote now." ”
"You search it, but he only wrote one article, and I don't know if he will write it in the future?"
"How?"
"Because he wrote about the minister of the Chincha so ironically that he scolded the entire California government to the point of blood. In recent days, quite a few well-known authors have attacked HYF. I guess that if a newcomer is attacked by such ******, I am afraid that it will be difficult to write any great work in the future. ”
"It's dark in the writing world. ”
The other group members also bubbled and said.
"Damn that Matthews, he's the one who led the way to get a bunch of readers to support him. ”
"Everyone, if not, let's also top a HYF, it would be heartbreaking for such a powerful author to be by them. ”
"Forget it, Matthews is the representative of the government, and we're still nosy. ”
"That's right. ”
"Alas, I can only hope that HYF will be blessed. ”
The group of friends chatted from time to time, but at this time, a reader shouted a sentence.
"Guys, the author named HYF has written another article. ”
"Ah, this guy wants to die, Matthews has made a move, and he still has a hard fight with them. ”
"I don't know, look first. ”
"I'll also see what kind of article HYF writes. ”
At this point, everyone did not speak for a moment, and searched for the article written by HYF through an e-reader.
[My colleague Greek teacher 'Belikov' died in our city two months ago.] You must have heard of him. He was also so strange that even on the brightest of days, he put on rain boots, brought an umbrella, and must have worn a warm cotton coat. He always carried his umbrella in a case, his watch in a gray buckskin case, and even the pencil sharpener knife in a small case......]
The article is called "The Man in the Sleeve".
As strange as the name, the protagonist of the article, "Belikov", is no less strange.
"In a condom, this guy is mentally ill?"
After reading the beginning, some readers couldn't help but comment.
It's just that it is this strangeness that is impressive in the following plot.
After reading "Belikov" nine times in a row, "Don't make any trouble", some readers suddenly woke up.
It turned out that "Belikov" in a sleeve was not strange, he was just timid, he was just afraid, he just didn't dare to have any ideas of his own, he was just afraid of making some trouble, he was just quite feudal.
Seeing this, many readers suddenly became uncomfortable.
"Guys, have you finished reading it?"
Some group members tried to say a word in the group.
I don't know why, after reading this article, he felt very uncomfortable.
This article is about "the man in the suit", about Belikov, but why, when they read it all, they feel as if they were talking about themselves.
Don't make any trouble.
Isn't it the same as Belikov himself?
In real life, when they see a lot of grievances, they dare not speak out.
In real life, they see a lot of injustice, and they just look at it coldly, and all this is not their own business.
Even if it's not in the real world, in the Internet, they have always been in a sleeve and never dare to take the initiative to speak.
Just like the HYF they were talking about just now, they were obviously angry that HYF was attacked by some well-known writers, but because they were afraid of the government, but because they were afraid of causing trouble, they could only sigh in the end.
"I'm done. ”
Another member of the group bubbled up and replied, "I feel like I did something wrong just now." ”
"I feel it too. ”
"I feel a hot pain in my face right now, and maybe, it may not be our business, but I thought, since we see it, since we all cry out for HYF, since we all think that Matthews and others are shameless, then, should we stand up?"
"I'm willing to stand up, not because I want to help HYF, but because I don't want to be a person in a suit. ”
A group member was the first to stand up and say loudly.
"Count me in, I don't want to be a person in a suit. ”
Then another spoke.
Then the whole group of readers boiled.
They joined hands and said, "Friends, let's stand up together." Stand up and make our voices heard. ”
