Description
"The River Bank" is a very important novel in Su Tong's creative career.
The book depicts the cruel youth of the 1970s, showcasing the absurd fate of the father and son Ku Wenxuan and Ku Dongliang, the humbleness and resilience of life, the troubles of adolescent growth, and the absurdity of history.
Su Tong's work once received this评价："Su Tong's world gives one a feeling of unbearable lightness, so neat and exquisite, yet hollowed out from the bones. On such a canvas, Su Tong constructs or fabricates an ethnography. Su Tong once again proves that he is one of the most charismatic storytellers among contemporary novelists."
