Kirishima Night

The founder of Paul's Pocket Bookstore releases his first short story, the crystallization of his sixteen years of literary creation. Facing the cruel reality, a man's decline, awakening and struggle⛰️Editor's recommendation Young author Buliu has been writing for sixteen years and officially published his first collection of novels "Mist Island Night Follow".
The characters in the novel are often in a Kafkaesque predicament, constantly sliding back and forth between memories and reality, silently enduring the violence inflicted by time while constantly looking for opportunities to resist.
The trivial and subtle descriptive text, the meticulous psychological analysis, and the layered narrative rhythm write out the fantasy of reality and the reality of fantasy.
The author excels at creating a tranquil and ambiguous atmosphere, starting with casual everyday events, focusing on capturing and presenting the workings of consciousness and environment on the characters, attempting to evoke subtle emotional resonance in the readers.
⛰️ Synopsis: "Mirishima Night Journey" is a collection of ten short stories, most of which feature characters living in the present while yearning to escape its exhaustion: an ignorant teenager caught in a series of embarrassing situations due to theft; a middle-aged man who recalls his youthful passion and yearns for courage; a childhood friend who resists hypocrisy and vulgarity with the aesthetics of violence; a sentimental man who is driven away by his two girlfriends and has nowhere to go; a hotel staff member who experiences all sorts of bizarre events during a prolonged snowstorm...
When the crude illusions of life are exposed again and again, will we rebel desperately or turn a blind eye and return to mediocrity?
