滴水观音(Dripping Guanyin)

一个自恋的浪子——他在大学时期已经是备受宠爱的才子，但一直却我行我素：做过青年作协主席，却因一些不愉快的事件而离职，教过中学并深受女同事与学生爱戴，当过电影编剧和导演，得过好一些奖项，但影片都不卖座；后来一次情劫，令他欠下半生情债，并精神抑郁，言之凿凿地诉说女鬼缠身，蹉跎多年，直至人到中年而大志末竟。这是一个一个彻底的悲剧人物，十一篇小说循环叙说的就是这个人的忏情录。 （ A narcissistic loafer-he has been already a much-loved wit when he was at college, but he always persists in his old ways: he has worked as the President in Young Author Association, but quit because of some unhappy incidents, he has taught in middle school and been much loved by female colleagues and students, he has worked as the movie screenwriter and director and has won several awards, but all the movies did not draw well; a later love robbery made him owe the affection debt for the half of his life and made him depressive. He said that he was stuck with a female ghost with certainty and wasted several years’ time till he was in his middle age with an ambition unfulfilled. This is a thoroughly tragic character. What is narrated circularly in the 11 novels is this man’s confession of love. )
