1. "Xiang Talan": The Exiled Literary Thief

This is a story about love, destiny and choice. The protagonist is a high-profile literature lecturer in the university. , the relationship with his wife broke down and disappeared, and later he became a serious criminal. After passing through two machine gun towers, he escaped from Australia's most heavily guarded prison and smuggled to Mumbai.

In Mumbai, where the weather was humid, hot and crowded, he spent eight years living among exiles from various places under a false name and identity.

The key is, these experiences are not fabricated by the author, but the real experiences of the author, Gregory David Roberts!

This is a truly legendary life. At present, after years of competition, the film and television adaptation rights have been officially won by Apple TV. I believe it will not be long before we can see it.

When I read the novel for the first time, I only saw it in the most conspicuous place in the bookstore. Later I learned that it was an "autobiographical" novel. I still felt very complicated at that time.

In addition to the plot, the text of this book is also very thought-provoking.

The book describes the living conditions in the slums of Mumbai. You can even see the other side of Gandhi and Bollywood; you can also see the most developed railway system, adjacent skyscrapers and rampant streets. of gangsters.

“The reason why people long for love and pursue love eagerly is because love is the only antidote to loneliness, shame and sadness. But some emotions are hidden deep in the heart, and only loneliness can help you Retrieve, some unknown past is too embarrassing, only shame can help you live in the shadow of the past, some things are too sad, only the heart can cry for you and vent the pain."

The title of the book - Xiang Talan, means "peaceful person" or "God-given peace" in Indian. It was also the name given to the author by the villagers when he was taken to his hometown by his friends as a fugitive. The name hints at the person he wants to become, and the above inner description is the author's heartfelt words at that time.

This book is not thin, but it is enjoyable to read.

Whether it is a novel, a travel book to learn about India, or a story about a legendary life with curiosity, "Xiang Talan" will not let you down.

2. "Dangerous Venus": a social mystery novel

It is said that this adaptation of Higashino Keigo's novel of the same name will be broadcast in October this year and will be directly followed by "Naoki Hansawa 2".

This book tells the story of three people, using three independent lives to tell the story of "Venus" - "Venus is not a person, but the crazy thing hidden in everyone's heart. .”——story.

The plot of this book has gone through many twists and turns, so there has been serious polarization in reader ratings. In addition, "Dangerous Venus" should actually be "woven" together by three originally independent short stories, three different lives, three stories about embarking on a crazy road for "Venus", In fact, it also happens to deal with the three poisons of "greed, anger, and ignorance".

However, the clever thing is that the author still finds subtle connections in the three stories, uses a reasoning to justify himself, and finally merges them into one story.

In terms of expression, it also adopts the form of "weakening the color of reasoning, and the narrative imitates serious literature and pure literature". It has a certain degree of sociology and the excitement of mystery novels.
