Chapter 465: A Highly Regarded Masterpiece!
"A novel that is particularly dark from beginning to end, this is also my favorite novel in recent years, Li Kuo's novels are still a little dark, including the beginning of "Medicine", and then "The True Story of Ah Q", which are a little desperate, but they are not the same as "Metamorphosis". Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But these novels have one thing in common, they all expose the increasingly indifferent and even pathological relationships between people. But personally, "Metamorphosis" gave me a deeper sense of depression and despair. I feel that the two novels "Medicine" and "The True Story of Ah Q" are generally stable and better, but "Metamorphosis" goes straight to the deepest and makes people sigh......"
"Li Kuo's recent novels are particularly infectious, either not too sad, or not very happy, or interspersed, "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is the process from sadness to joy. And now in "Metamorphosis", I think Li Kuo's use of foreign names and foreign tones, as well as the foreign background and foreign background even a hundred years ago, should be to avoid the novel being too real and uncomfortable......"
"It's hard to imagine how Li Kuo did all this with the most jaundiced stories to show the most brutal truth, but 'Metamorphosis' did allow me to see the birth of a new genre of fiction."
β¦β¦ The comments are getting more and more meager and the number of people participating in the discussion is increasing.
The novel began to spread.
Compared to other novels, the story of "Metamorphosis" is relatively fascinating.
This novel is the first to be popular, creating the environment and background for the protagonist to become a big beetle, purely from the plot point of view, everyone will be more concerned about the next change of the protagonist, looking forward to him becoming a human again, and then they will be attracted by the complex conditions faced by the protagonist, and have been insisting on looking down until the final ending......
Such a story structure naturally attracts more people to watch and discuss.
However, this novel soon attracted more and more attention, and it was no longer limited to such a general public, but included many researchers of literary theory and some famous literary giants.
They all discovered what was hidden in the novel, and what was most appealing about the novel, and why it was so appealing.
"The Metamorphosis is the most incredible novel I've seen in recent years, if not decades, and I think it's just outlandish...... Li Kuo uses a very unique artistic tone to artistically reconstruct the 'Man Turning into a Beetle Incident' with symbolism and detailed description, so that the work presents an absurd and incredible tone.
The encounter of the protagonist in "Metamorphosis" is actually a symbol of the fate of the little people at the bottom in that era of extremely rich material and thin human feelings. The novel uses the absurd story of the protagonist becoming a beetle, which vividly reflects the reality of the world's mercenary, worship of money, disdain for true love and humanity, and finally being squeezed and deformed by society...... It's a terrible time, and yet we're living in it! βJia Le, editor-in-chief of Literary Review.
Needless to say, the importance of the journal "Literary Review" in the Chinese literary scene is needless to say, and Jia Le is also a very influential literary critic, so what he said as the editor-in-chief suddenly gave "Metamorphosis" a little high-spirited.
However, not only that, a large wave of celebrity reviews have arrived, and the speed is fast!
"I think that the idea of "Metamorphosis" is very profound, through metamorphosis, the purpose of the protagonist's longing for rebellion is partially achieved, but in the end, through the protagonist's transformation and final death, the inevitable destruction of a person who ignores the existence of individuality is revealed. We can also see an author's deep insight into this society. -- Mao Jiansheng, an important member of the All-China Writers Association.
The magazine "Literary Criticism" directly published an essay by Mei Yulin, a famous literary critic and a well-known figure in the literary world, and the title of this paper is: Exploring the Grammatical Innovation of "Metamorphosis" from a narrative perspective.
In this article, a very profound narrative analysis of "Metamorphosis" is made:
"There are several particularly unique features of "Metamorphosis", first of all, the narrator's perspective in "Metamorphosis" is like a camera, objectively recording the words and deeds of the characters, even if the text content is very shocking, Li Kuo remains quiet and calmly observed, and even his own feelings are not left. The second is that the narrative perspective in the novel is very vague, sometimes from the perspective of the protagonist, sometimes from the perspective of a bystander, alternating between blurred, making the novel more surreal. In the end, Li Kuo completely cut off the narrative space of the novel, making it very incomplete and making the novel even more grotesque...... I think this is already the beginning of a new genre of fiction. β
With this affirmation, the official rating of the novel has also become higher and higher.
On the official website of the annual author competition, the influence of "Metamorphosis" is also increasing at a rapid pace, and the popularity of Li Kuo has also quickly opened a larger distance for Huazheng.
There are too many people who are topping this novel.
"The most shocking thing about "Metamorphosis" is Li Kuo's ability to push ruthlessness to the extreme, he can really watch from the sidelines without adding any emotion...... I think this is the most shocking novel since the start of this year's Author of the Year contest! This is already a particularly important member of the Organizing Committee of the Annual Author Contest, and this remark also means that Li Kuo is now in a higher position in the Annual Author Contest......
"Metamorphosis" was officially and authoritatively respected in this way, and the name Li Kuo once again completed the promotion.
It's just that, contrary to these admiration and praise, "Metamorphosis" is not necessarily good in the eyes of ordinary people.
Some people first launched their own criticisms.
"The Metamorphosis is indeed a creepy novel, but I still think that Li Kuo's novel that writes about foreigners and names of foreigners is not very good. Maybe it's because of the infection of these foreign names, the story described here is actually not so Chinese, China has not experienced such a drastic era of industrial revolution, and the relationship between people is certainly not like this, the children in the eyes of parents, basically only love, should not be the case. β
This comment resonated with some people, and indeed some felt that the kind of relationship described in it was inappropriate.
But soon some people came up with their own objections: isn't that what society is like now? Isn't that what it means to have no filial son in front of the bed for a long time? As for the background, Li Kuo has written about the past of foreigners, why do they want to pull it on the Chinese?
As a result, two very different points of view began to collide. (To be continued.) )
