About Book

Zhang Dachun said he was the one who "supported the 21st century novel world," and Luo Yijun called him "the novelist of the future."
Huang Guojun uses the storyteller's style to draw inspiration from fairy tales, fables, legends and other folk literature to write about the various transformations of the body and soul.

Editor's recommendation★Huang Jinshu once proposed the concept of "Introvert Generation" in Taiwanese literature: "From those samples we can clearly see a crisis form about writing itself. The fragile and on the verge of splitting 'self' becomes the real subject of writing. The world and language are both problems. Introversion, inward collapse, and even an unusual fascination with death." Huang Guojun is one of the representatives of this "Introvert Generation".
★ "Blindly Watching" was first published in Taiwan in 2002. The article "The Intervention of the Ceiling" continues the writing style of "Outside".
From "Outside" to "Blindly Watching," Huang Guojun has transformed from a literary experimenter to a storyteller. With his pure soul and intellectually thoughtful prose, the author recreates Kafkaesque hesitation and metamorphosis, and between the story's real and imaginary, a strong modern allegory emerges, depicting the complex desires of the human world.
★This book specially includes Huang Guojun’s hand-drawn line drawings with a very personal style.

"Blindly Watching" is a collection of short stories by Taiwanese author Huang Guojun, his next masterpiece following "Outside the World." The book includes 10 stories, with a preface by his father, Huang Chunming, a renowned Taiwanese writer of local literature, and Huang Guojun's own introduction.
The work attempts to extract the essence of folk literature, imbued with the wild power of fairy tales, fables, and legends, injecting vitality and a new dimension into this literature. With the writing style of a "storyteller" and a mysterious and enigmatic narrative style, the author strives to capture the complex and fluid psychological landscape of the human world, presenting the alienation, anxiety, and speculation between people, and the various errors that arise from them.

When a celebrity recommended it, I shouted in my heart: "Guo Jun is the novelist of the future!" But then I remembered that Guo Jun is no longer in this world.
——The writer Luo Yijun (Huang Guojun's novel) has a solemn style that is out of tune with his contemporaries.
——Writer Zhang Dachun. When I read his novels and other things, I feel that he is the author of that generation who makes me feel closest to him, agree with him the most, or cherish him the most. Many parts of his works make me want to say: This person should be avoided to stand out!
——Writer Yang Mu In my mind, Guo Jun is a literary ascetic, whose courage and diligence are shameless.
——The works of writers Yuan Zhesheng and Huang Guojun really allow me to see a special, young, sensitive, but very creative, imaginative and fantastic mind.
——Writer Guo Qiangsheng The author’s imagination and experimental nature, as well as his unique perspective on art, set it apart from other works.
——Writer Shi Shuqing
