This topic is a collection of novels with a strong "polyphonic" temperament written by Gu Wenyan, a representative writer and young scholar of the "post-1990s" generation. It contains five short stories: "Entoto Ababa", "Sea Monster", "Still Alive", "Artificial Lake" and "The World is Old", telling the life stories of contemporary urban men and women hidden in the quiet flow, and describing the universal things that happen in the human heart. The collapse of the world, and the courage to face the past and face the pain. The author writes in a "snorkeling" style, penetrating the glamorous life surface of young people in metropolitan cities, sinking into the depths of ordinary life, sifting through gravel and fishing for pearls. The strong introspection tendency in individual chapters and the almost philosophical analysis of the symptoms of the times are profound and sincere, and the "moments of enlightenment" are moving.
本选题是“九〇后”代表作家、青年学者顾文艳创作的一部极具“复调”气质的小说集。收录《恩托托阿巴巴》《海怪》《仍然活着》《人工湖》《世界已老》五部短篇小说，讲述当代都市男女静流下潜藏暗涌的生活故事，描述发生在人类心灵内部普遍的坍缩塌陷，以及正视过往、直面伤痛的勇气。作者以“浮潜”式的写作，穿透大都市年轻人光鲜的生活表象，沉入俗常生活深处，网筛砾石，打捞珍珠。个别篇章中强烈的自省倾向和对时代症候近乎哲学思辨的剖析，深刻而真诚，“顿悟时刻”令人动容。
