About Book

Zhang Dachun said that he was the one who would "support the 21st-century novel landscape," and Luo Yijun called him "the novelist of the future!"
Huang Guojun's masterpiece, a fusion of novels, stories, and essays, explores the complex desires that arise between men and women.

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".
★ "Yes or Not at All" was first published in Taiwan in 2003. The story "Detailed Dream" was the inspiration for "The Hole at the Watergate".
From "Outside" to "To Be or Not at All," Huang Guojun pursues the essence of storytelling, a novel that appeals to both the elite and the masses. The author, with his sensitive and delicate soul, calm and rational mind, and penetrating personality, constructs his own unique aesthetic of detachment, showcasing the diverse facets of male and female emotions and sexual desire.
★This book specially includes Huang Guojun’s hand-drawn line drawings with a very personal style.

Celebrity recommendation: 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.
——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 felt that he was the author of that generation who made me feel closest to him, agree with him the most, or cherish him the most. Many of his works made 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.
—Author 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◎Award record☆"Blank Space" won the Recommended Award of the 11th United Literature Novel Newcomer Award.
.
