Hover Days

Yesterday

★ One of the most important writers in the history of Latin American literature, Juan Emar's classic masterpiece, introduced to the Chinese world for the first time ★ Escape from boring daily life, every day in the future is a "blind box" and a surprise! Days seem to roll forward, but they can turn in unexpected directions at any time I've had enough, let's sneak away! ★ Avant-garde, abstract, quirky, humorous, it turns out he understood futuristic literature long ago Emar's future might just be our present ★ Special inclusion of 30 full-color paintings by the author, taking you to the "suspended" world Emar is serious about abstraction! --- How can one capture those sparkling memories in the most ordinary days? Perhaps bungee jumping can be used as an analogy. Jumping down from a cliff edge high up, experiencing the sensation of rapid freefall, then being pulled up by the taut elastic rope at the lowest point. Epiphany happens at this moment. Consciousness, subconscious, memories, thoughts... everything in the mind continues to fall with the momentum, only the body and senses are suspended in mid-air. Below the cliff, for an instant, you see all the past, scattered fragments of yesterday forming a whole before your eyes. Then the rope springs back, the fragments rush towards you, returning to your body. Time unfolds in order again, winding its way through the complex circumstances of daily life, the collision of moments ago forming the latest experience in life. --- His contemporary South American writers were boisterous and lonely, while Juan Emar was quiet and quirky. He was always ahead of his time, showing us a vivid world dominated by unreality, which is precisely a part of eternity. — Pablo Neruda Juan Emar erected a monument to the unknown soldier for literature. — Roberto Bolaño Juan Emar was ahead of his time; he undoubtedly wrote for future readers. — Alejandro Zambra I... was greatly shocked. I want to tattoo the entire book on my forehead. Or maybe tattoo story elements on my arm. — Goodreads reader
