The Blade, published by 1944, is his first novel since he came to the United States in 1940. Now, we can see that the protagonist Larry is the product of World War I, and the era he reflects-the era between the two wars-is the twilight era of Eurocentrism. During this period, although the world cultural center was still in Europe, the European cultural center, in Mao Mu's view, was undoubtedly in France, but it could not give a satisfactory answer to people who came here to seek the truth of life. Larry read widely in Paris and learned several languages, but Paris and France just became his midway island; What he finally brought was neither Catholicism that Father Siam wanted to take him back as a lost lamb, nor mysticism that he wanted to learn from Polish miner Kosti, but Vedic philosophy in India.
