Der verblassende Mond über dem verlassenen Innenhof

Product Description

"The Moon in the Empty Courtyard" contains novellas by Han Shaogong that are difficult to categorize due to their dense atmosphere. The author himself says about his writing style: "Over the years, I have become interested in the Russian tradition of distinguishing only between 'prose' and 'poetics.' I believe that the Chinese novel tradition, represented by the four classical masterworks, also stems from prose, which differs from the European novel tradition and drama. As a modern Chinese writer who continues the aesthetic tradition of local literature and seeks various genre characteristics and forms of expression that globalization and competition impose, is it worth attempting to create something that is neither fish nor fowl and creates neither donkey nor horse – but touches head and heart instead?"
