From beginning to end

The latest novel by Li Yao, author of "The Unfinished Book of Mandrills",
Creating the world with language, an epic of the metaverse!
Traverse time and space, traverse memory, read as write,
From the swift decay, a magnificent and self-consistent poetic universe is created.
📜Editor's recommendation "It turns out that this city was built like this,
It turns out that every city in the world is built like this."
• Fourteen chapters are arranged as giant lines of poetry, forming a sonnet-like novel.
Following "The Fragments of a Study of Mandrills," this is another masterpiece by the original author Li Yao. Continuing his reflections on the world and text, this novel, crafted through magnificent language and fragments of history, explores a "metaverse" or "pseudo-metaverse."
• In this reading-like writing, complex history is rewritten as a paradoxical epic, like a prickly crystal. From the shadow of a ephemeral monarchy or world, an immortal poet emerges. This work possesses a strong allegorical/prophetic quality.
📜Brief introduction "The beginning of the world is an epic of randomness" - "From the Beginning to the End" is a novel about the world and everything, about the origin and end of the world, as well as everything that exists and happens in the world.
There was a man and a woman in the world: Fuxi and Nüwa, or Adam and Eve, or Nu and Hapi. From these two individuals, humanity developed, giving rise to heroes and paradises, poets, and, corresponding to them, the shadows of imitation.
Misreading, love, freedom, and various questions emerge from the reality and illusion.
Like a giant whale devouring the romance and boldness of language, revealing a thin but giant page; the sonnet copied outside of time happens to be a collection of all the historical fragments of the world.
