Reitwalk Timequake Who can explain it? Ask for details

Leiter Walker is a writer who is good at using black humor to express his words.

In 1997, he wrote a book called "Time Shock". I claim that this book is the final work.

In this book, the author carefully designed and invented a special science fiction background, that is, "timequake": in the process of time moving to 2001 again, whether people are willing or not, everyone They are all dominated by an "illusion of having experienced it before", repeating exactly what they did before. At the end of the "time earthquake", the world once again appeared in a chaotic situation of "continuous cutting and chaos".

The text of the novel "Timequake" is composed of fragmented history, memories, jokes and fantasies. The non-linear and intrusive narrative mode goes against the tradition of novels. The characters in this novel combine fiction and reality, making it difficult to distinguish true from false. It resolves binary opposition and subverts authoritative classics, rational order and natural laws.

Work evaluation:

The novel "Time Shock" embodies the tendency of "popularization", integrating wisdom and pain, wit and submission. An all-in-one "extremely entertaining" masterpiece; breaking the boundaries between reality and history. Although "Timequake" has the characteristics of "postmodernism", it does not participate in postmodernism's denial of values ??such as truth and progress, but quite the opposite.

——Wu Hong (Associate Professor at the School of Foreign Languages, Chongqing Technology and Business University)

"Time Shock" is not a novel in the traditional sense. It has no center and does not have a complete story. The text form presents a scattered "state of anarchy".
