face/面孔

Portraying the mundane world with classical elegance it connects fleeting life and dreams visiting eccentrics and poets alike.以古雅的汉语白描俗世众生相。连接浮生与幻梦，探访怪人和诗人。Faces collects four short stories each bearing the distinct characteristics of note-form fiction (biji xiaoshuo). Through minimalistic narration they sketch characters with remarkable clarity and vividness. People with unusual features those with eccentric behaviors individuals who blur the lines between dreams and reality obscure poets... Destined to be lost to history they drift through the mundane world coexisting with masks and wrestling with their shadows. Like a calm observer Dong Jun portrays this spectrum of earthly lives in elegant classical Chinese. In seemingly casual meandering conversations the faces of these nameless individuals emerge one by one like apparitions.《面孔》收入的四篇小说均有笔记小说的特点，叙事志人，只寥寥几笔，却风神能见。面呈异相的人、行为怪诞的人、分不清梦境与现实的人、默默无闻的诗人......他们注定湮没于历史，游走在烟火人间，与面具共生，与影子缠斗。如同一个冷静的旁观者，东君以古雅的汉语白描俗世众生相，在看似不经意的闲话漫谈间，那些无名之辈的面孔便如幽灵般一一浮现。
