A little note about the latest novel
I am back. As you see, I have finished the latest novel 藍鬍子與貞德. It makes me disappeared from here for several days. Let’s talk about the hard time I have experienced. In fact plots and materials of this novel, which is about Joan of Arc and Hundred Years War, are been in my brain since I was a child. It’s definitely the most religious one I have ever written. Should I worry that no one is interest in it?
Entering the icy middle-age is quite strange and tough. It dragged me into a little nightmare while the writing process. It is not because of the technical stuff but the story itself, which is mixed with some of my obsessively mysterious thoughts and the darkest part of my spiritual core.
I even do not concern whether God (the christian one) is exists or not. What I concern the most is how these God-stuff affect people on earth. I observed that some may get very bad influences from religion, like my characters in this novel. Of course we all know that countless people get help and pleasure from Christianity. Nevertheless, I concern the exceptional case like Joan of Arc. People, even those Saints so called, get killed because of obsessions about God.
I write this in english because writing in my mother language is somehow a burden for me. In the past two days I have typed chinese too much. My wrist feels a little bit painful now.
