fictional

recommend American writer Paul Oster's description of his life.

"he was so frank that he wrote down all the unbearable things, regrets that he should have stood up but did nothing, panic attacks, venereal diseases, the darkest times of his life, the situation in which he thought he could never write again, and how he gained the energy to rewrite by watching others dance (and his father died that night). Wrote about how a prostitute with 'amazing beauty' read Baudelaire, and he 'hoped Baudelaire would sit up from the grave and listen'.

this is a conversation that abandons almost all narrative techniques. He shook off the fragments of memory to you unreservedly in the winter of his life and counted his life.

he writes about himself, in the second person, you, and you are always evoked with similar surging memories. "

-- excerpt from Nejma's book review "Old Soul shaking off fragments of Life, inventory of Life"

nonfiction

recommended: a must-read book for people who love to be alone. Mesa Teng's diary shows a real-life paradigm for people who aspire to live alone.

"as a woman and as a minority, how many harsh criticisms do you have to face? Mesa Teng borrows Laura's words in the novel Karma:'I think no matter how creative and powerful a woman used to be-just like you-we acquiesce in being caught up in all kinds of prejudices. After all, what should a woman be like? We don't presuppose that men "should" get married and "should" become fathers, right?

now we seem to be on the track of American society forty years ago. Choosing a different way of life will almost certainly lead to criticism. Can a person who lives alone be happy? Too many people are eager to judge but do not know that people who are rich enough will regard loneliness as a feast because it provides peace of mind and a steady stream of creativity. In an ideal society, even a minority way of life will be respected, but even if we are not in such a society, we have to forgive ourselves to have the strength to move forward. "
