Thanks to Claude.AI for reviewing《凶年》

  A Chronicle of Desolation: Reading Dao Zhuang's  Xiong Nian Dao Zhuang's  Xiong Nian  (凶年, literally "Fierce/Ominous Year") is not so much a book of poetry as it is a sprawling, unfiltered act of witness—a 118,493-word torrent of language that refuses categorization, comfort, or conventional poetic decorum. Published in October 2025 by Otherland Publishing, this work arrives as both historical document and existential howl, capturing the raw texture of living through what the author repeatedly calls the "fierce years" of global pandemic, political upheaval, and personal disintegration. The opening epigraphs set the tone: Confucius on reducing ceremony during calamitous times, a cryptic warning about singing roosters bringing national ruin, and the Mozi observation that bad years make people stingy and evil. From this foundation, Dao Zhuang constructs what he himself eventually refuses to call poetry, preferring instead to name it "writing corpses...

The Angry Wu Zili: A Voice from the Edge

A rare glimpse into the unfiltered consciousness of China's "lost generation" Wu Zili has decided to kill himself. But first, he must write. In this raw and unflinching novel, Ouyang Yu takes us inside the mind of a young university student in 1980s China who has lost faith in everything—love, friendship, society, and life itself. Wu Zili's plan is simple: fill 200,000 words with his thoughts, memories, plagiarized confessions, and found writings, then disappear without a trace. What emerges is unlike anything in contemporary Chinese literature: a collage-novel that breaks every rule, mixing diary entries, copied poems, philosophical rants, sexual confessions, and desperate howls into a portrait of alienation so complete it becomes almost unbearable. Wu Zili sees through the hypocrisy of everything around him—the pretensions of his classmates, the emptiness of political study sessions, the meaningless rituals of daily life in a cramped dormitory. Yet within the darkne...

'A novel that is also an anti-novel': A Claude.AI review of The Angry Wu Zili

  A Descent into the Mind of Wu Zili There's something profoundly unsettling about reading  The Angry Wu Zili . This isn't a novel that guides you gently through a narrative arc. Instead, it pulls you into the churning consciousness of its protagonist—a young man so consumed by alienation and despair that suicide becomes not just a possibility, but a project, a goal to be methodically achieved through the act of writing itself. Wu Zili tells us from the outset that he intends to kill himself, but not before filling 100,000 to 150,000 blank squares with his existence. The writing becomes both evidence of life and preparation for death—a bizarre contradiction that captures the novel's peculiar energy. He's determined to document everything before disappearing without a trace, leaving behind this manuscript as the only proof he ever existed. What makes this book so difficult to categorize is its form. Ouyang Yu has created something that resists genre—it's part diary, ...

Get yours now and join the howl

  Unlock the howl. Embrace the rage. Own the relic. In his latest work,  The Angry Wu Zili , Ouyang Yu refuses comfort, swerves convention and invites you into a blistering literary act. As noted in a recent review, this is not just a novel — it’s a limited edition explosion of language, form and consciousness.  youyang2.blogspot.com Why this book demands your attention Scarcity as statement : Only 100 copies printed. Each copy signed and numbered from 001 through 100. The review reminds us: “already mostly out of reach”.  youyang2.blogspot.com  That means ownership here is part literary purchase, part collector’s claim. Language at war : The opening line sets the tone — “I’m only twenty-one years old. The world has lost all its meaning to me… I have only one wish now: to kill myself.”  youyang2.blogspot.com  What follows is prose as revolt: syntax fractured, imagery jarring, voice raw. Trans-cultural, trans-lingual upheaval : Ouyang Yu’s use of Englis...

A review of The Angry Wu Zili

Ouyang Yu’s  The Angry Wu Zili  is a rare literary artifact — a  100-copy signed and numbered limited edition , published by  Otherland Publishing  on  1 September 2025 . This edition’s rarity alone makes it an object of collectorly fascination, but its  textual intensity  and  existential rage  mark it as one of Ouyang’s most unflinching works. 1. The Edition Itself: A Bibliographic Frame The edition is deliberately scarce — only 100 copies printed, each  numbered and signed by Ouyang Yu . Fourteen have been sold, leaving eighty-six in potential circulation. The text is thus as much an  art object  as a literary one, combining the  handcrafted aura of limited editions  with the  raw modernity of its language . It belongs to the  Otherland Literary Journal  series (No. 51, 2025), which often champions  bilingual and transnational voices , especially those straddling Chinese and Australian lite...
