Entrapment and Enclosure: The Poetics of Space and Time in Yu Hua's Two Short Stories.
- Authors
HUA LI
- Abstract
The article discusses the poetics of space and time in the short stories "Boy in the Twilight" and "The Boisterous Game," by contemporary Chinese author Yu Hua and the links between the two stories. Elements that contain the compressed time of their past and become paramount within each protagonist's memory are highlighted. The characters' tragic and fatalistic vision of life depict the daily life of those alienated individuals taken up by the economic reforms.
