This will be 'X' in my 2007 A-Z reading challenge.



Six stories, originally published in Chinese between 1983 and 1991:

The Temple
In the Park
Cramp
The Accident
Buying a Fishing Rod for My Grandfather
In an Instant

These were all very readable - I finished them all at 3 'sittings'.

Journal Entry 3 by Witchtitchy from Retford, Nottinghamshire United Kingdom on Friday, June 1, 2007
Found at Holyrood palace in Edinburgh whilst on a day out. Took quite a while to get around to reading it but have finally managed it. Am now going to leave the book at local train station, and hopefully someone else will enjoy it. Have never read anything by this Chinese writer before. It reminds me a bit of Virginia Woolf's 'stream of consciousness' novels. Kind of like word pictures if you like. So it came as no surprise to read that the author is an accomplished artist as well as writer. Anyway have left the book at Retford town station. Be interested to see what happens next!
