| Popis: | 98 Yuan ZheSheng (1966-2004) is a Taiwanese literary novelist renowned for many prizes in literature. His writing career came late in his years, adept in writing in a calm and composed style; but also notorious for the range of styles he exploits in his scripts.Early novels portrayed a deep sense of interpersonal alienation, depicting the dissipation of time and space. Yuan has also written about local affairs in the Taiwanese colloquial language, known by critics as the pioneer of ”The Soft Nativist Fiction” ; praising it as the gatherer of fictional authors of the mid-fifties. Later on, the kids’ series was released for young adults, employing humor to illustrate the ridicule and absurdity of life in adolescence. After his death, his work became most treasured among writers of the fifties in the realm of fictional writing. Yuan wrote mostly of family, the relationship between father and son; often using time, distance and space to describe the division of people, at the same time revealing the living dilemma of “Inevitability of Death” and ”Dreams and reality are perishable.”Particularly hidden in his scripts is the discussion of death and desertion; becoming a reference for the illusion of possession.These novels that uses Taiwan as a backdrop for his writings of death. Although it is portrayed under a local context, his thoughts and ideology carry the reader beyond the concept of time, reminiscing on the inescapability of death and the cycle of life. In recent years, writings of death have become a trend in contemporary fiction domestically and internationally. This paper will discuss his work, representing his beliefs toward the withering of life and time and relate to the writings of death. Through development of time and background, perhaps Yuan’s work has found its worthiness in our era, awaiting an appropriate retrospective. |
