Wang Shuo, a ＂literary rascal＂： I am a Zhongshan wolf, and I am crazy when I succeed (Figure)
Lu Xun’s Diary of a Madman is the originator of China’s modern novels. After nearly 90 years, Wang Shuo, a "literary rascal", dramatically named his 2007 ending work Diary of a New Madman. This book contains most of Wang Shuo’s private diaries and two short stories in 2007: the diary involves his feelings about people, himself, things, God, life and death; The novels "Horrible Thoughts" and "Days After Death" are metaphors of Wang Shuo’s fate and state of mind in the past six years.
500 "wild" words in the diary
At the beginning of this year, Wang Shuo returned to the reader’s field of vision with his comeback work My Chitose Cold, but people found that Wang Shuo’s book was "incomprehensible". The publication of the Diary of a New Madman was prefaced by Wang Shuo: "In reality, readers are particularly afraid of not understanding it and should take care of it. After all, there are a few people who sincerely want to buy and don’t understand. Very few people may be mentally ill. "
The reason why Wang Shuo named the new book Diary of a New Madman is that this book records a process of delusion, reaching a high point and finally getting to the bottom. In the meantime, every time I think about it, I directly type it into the computer, pushing it one by one, just like crossing the mark. "I solemnly recommend the method of self-treatment of schizophrenia: I type my delusion into the computer, and the rest is a particularly realistic person."
It is reported that the diary of the book was written from April to August 2007, totaling more than 500 articles. The style of writing followed Wang Shuo’s consistent maverick. "Crazy, I understand that I look down on people. I think I just look down on things. " The book is divided into six categories according to the realistic orientation, which are named as "I", "Enlightenment", "People", "Things", "Classics" and "Death" respectively. Wang Shuo believes that if the diary is sorted by time, this process is only meaningful to him personally, while the classification according to reality provides a sense of direction for reading and regulates the internal logic of "madness". "I don’t agree to print a book for people to read crazily, and then I can’t come back if I read crazily."
Diary or talk about personal life, such as Why I haven’t finished writing about Chitose Cold, Thoughts on Watching Youth-related Days with My Daughter, Remembering My Dad in a trance, and Telling the world about my red knowledge; Or talk about realm consciousness, such as what is death, my Buddhist view, and the most shameless face to death; Or talk about the way of the world, such as "Remembering Liang Zuo", "Quotations from Jiang Wen" and "Telling all the false sensible people in the world"; Or take a long reading note such as A Dream of Red Mansions and Zi Zhi Tong Jian to reflect on the inner world … By the last one written on August 29, 2007, Wang Shuo’s thought after six years of hardship was broken out.
The novel "delusion" gives a feast of perception
The two short stories "Horrible Thoughts" and "Days After Death" are the acme of the structure and play of words, and describe infinite thoughts with limited Chinese characters.
Wang Shuo believes that his writing has reached the realm of "following one’s inclinations". "The two novels were written at the time of delusion, around 2003 and 2004, and I can’t remember them clearly, because they have been written countless times and belong to the series of’ automatic writing semi-finished products’."
"Then I saw things like heaven, happiness and love that I never believed in before. These are all landscapes, and a picturesque landscape is no longer an abstract word. It turned out to be all true. When I think like this, I see moving and sadness again-sadness is a gray forest, full of trees with thick moss hanging over them for a long time. Touched by a cave under the cliff by the sea, the cold tide poured in, and the golden light of the sunset lit up the chrysanthemum-like wrinkles on the cave wall. "
From the beginning of this book, Wang Shuo’s language is embedded with a kind of magic, and his surreal feelings are directly projected to the readers’ senses through extremely accurate words, and his expression is smooth and incisive. The novel has a total of 40,000 words, and every word is exquisite. The editor of this book thinks that he has presented a "feast of perception" to the readers.
The style of writing returns to family and rewrites itself.
Twenty years ago, Wang Shuo was born in China literary world with works such as "Stewardess". He conquered countless readers with half piqueness and half affection. However, since "My Chitose Cold", many people are deeply sorry and puzzled by his unique style and profound content.
The two novels included in Diary of a New Madman let people once again see a Wang Shuo whose words are superb but his heart is still quiet and simple. Although he calls himself a "delusion", he contains an important ups and downs in life, rewriting himself and being full of warmth.
In the book, Wang Shuo recalled his parents, brother and past family. Life is like a play, everyone is just an actor. "I don’t hate to play my dad’s old actor. I just gave him a cold shoulder in the middle. He asked me to play like this, but I didn’t play like this … Later, he stopped playing and left. I haven’t seen him again. I miss him very much. How can a group stay for 40 years without feelings … I have broken his heart, and he has also broken mine. Maybe we both played too seriously. "
Wang Shuo’s daughter had a complete family before she was 6 years old. In her novels, Wang Shuo devoted herself to that time. "The story of happiness in my life is the first six years of meeting myself in the afterlife. Then I cut the reins of happiness myself. "
Through the words in the book, readers can see a father with infinite warmth, infinite miss and infinite love for his daughter. "My home is not completely scattered because of her. I live for her, and if she is gone, I will never breathe another breath in this world. "
Controversial "private" signboard is popular?
Referring to the new book named Diary of a New Madman, Wang Shuo said: "Some people say I am crazy, don’t they? I am a Zhongshan wolf, and I will be crazy if I succeed. " As for whether the title of the book is suspected of following the trend of Lu Xun, Wang Shuo once said with a smile: "Madness is not Lu Xun’s patent."
Wang Shuo’s two consecutive new books have all been marked with the word "private", which has aroused readers’ general doubts about his motivation to publish books. Some readers posted on the forum: "Wang Shuo is really old and can only sell his privacy like a dead star." Some readers even accused Wang Shuo of taking "private" things as a kind of depravity, completely making his entertainment a star. Some readers predicted that no matter how Wang Shuo caught his eye with the "private" signboard, he could not save his declining book sales.
