Go: Green and Zhang Zao's Story Collection

A writer's lonely journey of constantly walking, feeling, writing and enduring the poetry of life is presented in subtle details◎ Editor's recommendation This is a novel about a writer. There is no Hollywood-style "plot" in the whole book, but through tension-filled details, it creates an atmosphere of freedom and loneliness. The reading experience is closer to watching a new wave movie.
Si Tu is a unique writer who does not cater to the market, but (or perhaps because of this) he will never fool his readers. Si Tu's novels have the shadow of French New Novel, but are more sincere, and one can read the author's persistence in love and writing.
This book recounts a writer's daily life, encompassing bus rides, walking, mountain climbing, conversations, interacting with a pair of shoes, waiting, eating, and phone sex. The novel lacks deliberate drama or intense conflict. Instead, through ordinary actions and simple conversations, it unfolds a lonely journey, resonating deeply through the subtle tension of detail.
◎ Celebrity Recommendation: In my opinion, Si Tu is a late-blooming writer. His creative trajectory and temperament remind me of Beckett and Cézanne. I wonder if this is true; time will reveal his significance. I'm also looking forward to his writing in his later years. He should be called a writing artist.
— Sun Zhizheng, novelist Si Tu is an outlier among novelists, a rare and precious quality, but also destined to suffer immensely. Novel writing is often a form of soliloquy, and immersing oneself in it, one can salvage a captivating tone.
—Zhao Zhiming, novelist
