Shi Kang's favorite book is actually "World War II", which makes readers who love him feel a little surprised. However, it is such a novel "Revisiting the Past Dream" written by evelyn waugh, a great British writer, and called "the only first-class comedy genius in Britain since Bernard Shaw" by Wilson, an American writer, that makes Shi Kang understand that reading is a way of life, a more self-centered and internal way. He thinks reading is unique.
Revisiting the old place was written in 1945. This novel won evelyn waugh a wave of cheers on both sides of the Atlantic. The New York Times Book Review correctly commented: "Reviewing the past has the depth and weight that only writers at the peak of their creation can find."
There is no doubt that Shi Kang is now a writer at the peak of his creation.
Honesty and accuracy cannot be changed.
Like most young artists, Shi Kang has been writing poems since primary school. Because I read early, I always like to imitate. Write a poem when reading a collection of poems, and write a novel when reading a novel. When he arrived in middle school, he was responsible for publishing the blackboard newspaper in the school and began to publish what he had written on the blackboard newspaper. School extracurricular activities were boring, students spontaneously set up a literary society, and Shi Kang also actively participated, so he started writing in a fog.
He wrote his first book at 1995. Because the work of writing the script was broken, Shi Kang stayed at home and did nothing. One night, he planned to recall his life, so he wrote "Wandering" on his desk, which was completed in three months and published three years later. Shi Kang became a writer.
In style, there is no change in Shi Kang's works. Including his new work "Hello with Broken Hearts", it describes the process of "I" and the girl "Yuan" from understanding to breaking up. Seemingly simple, it is the kind of "simple and clean, just like primitive people" relationship. In fact, "that kind of relationship is not what people remember. On the contrary, worry and fear, hope and depression, everything is temporarily suspended ... Life suspended by lust is short-lived. "
Eight years is not a very short time. During this period, the writer Shi Kang changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and his writing began to shift from a young man's eyes to a middle-aged man's. Although the mood is different, the focus of eyes is still the world of sand-Shi Kang's writing goal has never changed. He tried to copy those forgotten times and scenes accurately and concisely, and only wanted to write them honestly and accurately. In fact, he said, "As soon as I hear someone say that his writing will change, I want to laugh, because only liars can change. How can an honest man change? "
Private novels don't belong to me.
Decadence is a common word used by many people to comment on Shi Kang's works. Some people say: "Shi Kang vented his depression, but the reader was decadent." In this regard, Shi Kang's explanation is very frank.
He said: "I never feel that what I write is decadent. Instead, I feel that I have been actively facing life. I stare at life and death. When I regard life as a mortal life, others say it is decadent. I think it means that people are simple and one-sided. " He said he wanted to be as eloquent as possible. Individuals are shaped by the combined forces of heredity, self and society. The same is true of personal creation. He believes that truth makes people sober and more objective, so as not to fantasize about themselves and others, but also makes people work harder.
Some people say: "in classical works, beauty is noble." The women in Shi Kang's novels are just desperately pulling men into the dark vagina, just letting themselves and men completely immerse themselves in the satisfaction of physical desires. " In the narration of Shi Kang's novels, readers can't see the heart-to-heart communication between women and "me", but can only see the mutual game and flirting for fun.
Shi Kang explained: "Because this is the case in real life. I think, in reality, there is heart-to-heart communication, but the last sentence is nonsense. Love is the highest state, where can I go? It is similar to say that sexual desire sublimates into love. I think the person who said this is talking about himself. What kind of person he is can only be seen from my book. If the reader is too decadent-whether it is lovelorn, unemployed or failed, but the reader chooses to read the novel, the conclusion is that the reader is too confused. " Shi Kang believes that his writing is to express himself truly and tell others his real life experience, but it is not a private novel. He expects literature to have its own independent sense of form.
After the trilogy of youth, Shi Kang wrote a love story about Beijing, and his understanding of New Beijing began with Shi Kang. The new work Hello heartbroken has a strong personal style and true youthful outlook, but the difference is that social experience makes his works have a sense of the times. The description of the petty bourgeoisie in the new work is vivid and vivid, and the conflict between love and money value in women's hearts is wonderful and moving.
