黑铁时代

Rate this book
It is the fine collection of series of works of Wang Xiaobo and is the latest illustration of this collection. When reading xiaobos books, you neednt sit uprightly. You had better read them with comfortable lying. Moreover, you can read his words at any time with the most relaxed posture. You cannot help laughing or you can also lose laughter with the sense of loss. He is not a philosopher, but he can tackle your confusion,; he is not a teacher, but he can tell you lots of reasons. The most important is that he never preaches a straight face and he is good at irony. Xiaobos words are transparent and hazy, truant and cunning at the same time. His words of maze remind you of Borges. He can drive circles even better than taxi driver. All in all, you can read unlimited possibilities, o r impossible certainty or uncertainty.
