绝妙的讽刺小说,尖刻而又深刻。在精妙的比喻之下,是作者对生活的深刻洞见。

还挺好笑的 男主真的是 活灵活现。

books shouldn’t be allowed to be this good

This book was a tough read but worth it. I especially loved the earlier portion of the book where Fang Hung-chien is in Shanghai; I found myself laughing out loud during some of the dinner scenes there. For this edition, I really appreciated the preface and afterword. The notes were much needed but, at the same time, I also needed more. I am not well-versed in Chinese history and literature so I needed as many notes as possible to help me better understand some of the cultural references.
