The renowned writer’s latest book is a continuation of his embrace of ordinary people in small places, which reflects a bigger social reality against a significant historical background. The book is divided into three chapters in which the stories, spanning over 20 years, are narrated through the perspectives of two men and a woman whose fates are shattered and unsettled by a rape case. Su once said he wished to write his best novel at the age of 50. Though he admits that this book may not be his best, he says the novel could be a gift to readers for his 50th birthday this year.
