#hongkongliterature — Public Fediverse posts

It’s been raining all day, and it will be the same tomorrow 🌧️… Not the best for the Chuseok holidays, but at least I finished a very good short story, 紅色魔髮選角事件 by 格多納, where we have to solve a mystery in real life and in fiction. I love mysteries that mix reality and fiction, I feel like I’ve read a lot of this type of stories lately :blob_smiley:

Only one short story left in this collection. I’m progressing slowly, but once this book is finished it will be the fifth book read in Chinese this year!

I finished 作家不在場的謀殺 by 望日, and it was really great! I particularly loved the first and last short stories because they feature both authors and editors while mixing reality and fiction in clever ways. (The last one in particular has a really brilliant twist!). There’s also a short story featuring a young police officer fan of detective novels who applies codes of crime fiction to a “real” case. It was very entertaining to read :blob_smiley:

New book, new entry page in my reading journal!

The book in question is 作家不在場的謀殺 by 望日 (HK), a collection of five short stories. I saw that the author is both a writer and a publisher, and I think that the stories will be related to the publishing world.

I’m sure I will love this one!!

I finished 筷：怪談競演奇物語, and it was a real gem! It’s a collection of short stories by five different authors.

Shinzo Mitsuda (三津田信三) for Japan, Xerses (薛西斯) for Taiwan and JeTauZi (夜透紫) for Hong Kong each create a different urban legend related to chopsticks, from rituals that grant a wish to rituals that put a curse on someone, they are all different and inspired by the local culture.

Then Xiao Xiang Shen ( 瀟湘神) (Tw) writes a story that links the first and the second stories together, and Chan Ho Kei (陳浩基) (HK) writes the final story that links the third and fourth stories together, making the collection a very cohesive whole. Even though each story is independent, the last two ones show that everything was linked! It’s really mind-blowing, I’ve never read anything like this before.

As for the short stories themselves, I liked them more or less (favourite ones are the ones by JeTauZi and Xiao Xiang Shen), but the collection as a whole is really exceptional.
