Light Point
2018年 NovelCentered on a mother-and-daughter relationship, the novel depicts clumsy, exhausted characters and an atmosphere of darkness and an intangible 'presence'. It avoids autobiographical elements and is set in a non-specific locale. The work emphasizes prose and a structure that builds toward the ending.
