Welcome to Litsy!

I brought THE TRUE STORY OF AH Q on my walk so I could leave it in this newish (and unregistered) Little Free Library.

Tonight I sat on a hill and finished this "masterpiece of Chinese literature," which I shan't review because I'm missing too much cultural context to properly rate and discuss it. It DOES work well as a "perpetual loser stumbles through life" story, though.

My walk drained every last scrap of my energy, so now I'm gonna flop on my bed and read my daily WOLVERINE.

I started THE TRUE STORY OF AH Q when I took a break near the duck pond. I suspect I don't yet have enough knowledge of Chinese literature to really GET this satire, but I'll stick with it anyways.

For some years now, I‘ve been wanting to set down for posterity the story of Ah-Q, but time and again have quailed before the difficulty of the task... #LuXun #shortstories #1910s #1920s #1930s #China
