Brief introduction of Mao Mu
Mao Mu is a modern English novelist and playwright. Mao Mu was born into a lawyer's family, and his father worked in the French embassy, with a good family. Unfortunately, his parents left this world early, leaving him alone. Mao Mu was entrusted by his parents to Mao Mu's uncle, so Mao Mu was brought to England by his uncle and raised him.
Mao Mu studied medicine as a teenager and later graduated from St. Thomas Medical College. He got a job in a hospital after graduation. During his internship, he came into contact with people at the bottom of society and felt their anguish and despair. After thinking, he decided to write what he saw and thought through a novel, which was later written as Lisa of Lambertz.
After five years of training, he gradually discovered his hobbies, and later he chose to abandon medicine and join the literature without hesitation. He likes reading and reads a lot. When he was young, he came into contact with many works about outstanding European and American novelists. He never idolizes a writer blindly, and dares to say that some world famous writers such as Balzac, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are not easy to write, which shows that he is a very serious reader.
Because of his rich social practice experience, he has a very keen observation. His works often treat life with a calm, objective and even critical attitude, with a detached tone, irony and pity. There are famous dramas such as The Circle, and novels such as The Chain of Life, The Moon and Sixpence, and The Blade. As well as collections of short stories, such as The Flutter of Leaves, The Tree of Kasuri and Ah Kin.
Mao Mu's works
Mao Mu's works include "Lisa of Lambert" based on his internship experience in the hospital. From this work, we can see that his writing is natural and fluent, with a strong British style.
After giving up medicine and joining literature, he wrote an autobiographical novel? The shackles of the world. He described his thoughts on society, religion, education and other things related to the superstructure, and expressed many people's voices. Even in today's society, this work is very enlightening for young people.
In China, there is a novel by Mao Mu called The Moon and Sixpence. This book tells the story of a man who abandoned his stable life, his wife and children, started from scratch and finally failed in pursuing his painting dream. Although the story is simple, Mao Mu, with his strong storytelling ability and language narrative ability, introduced us to another world, constantly torturing the propositions about dreams and reality, which brought great shock to people.
In fact, Mao Mu has many works. For example, Holy Paradise: The Experience and Impression of Andalusia, Flirting, Bishop's Scarf: The Context of a Big Family, etc. It's all worth reading.
Mao Mu evaluation
In his works, what is Feng Tang's evaluation of Mao Mu? Stylist level? In Europe? Stylist? It can be said that it is the highest title of a writer. Mao Mu's pen is not so gorgeous and stunning, but it is better than delicate silence. Mao Mu is a sensitive and intelligent person. His keen insight into human nature and his control over people's hearts are amazing, so his descriptions and stories can touch readers' hearts and make people feel the same.
However, the works of such a clever writer no longer sell well, and some even rated Mao Mu as a second-rate writer. Why? Mao Mu is very clever, and his cleverness is the cleverness of joining the WTO. He seems to criticize human nature calmly from the perspective of a bystander, mean and clever, but he is a normal person after all. Masters of the 20th century, such as Kafka and Hemingway, have different styles, so their articles must have a rebellious spirit. Mao Mu's skills, structure, story, language and so on have certainly passed the test, but compared with them, we can find that what he lacks is innovation, or a problem of mentality. Mao Mu is rooted in human nature, has become very approachable, and has a clever spirit, which makes some people think little of him. But the hierarchy of writers is not so clear, and it is extremely difficult to judge the greatness of writers.
