Reviews
——“The Returning Soul is surprising. The Enormousness of life has been submerged in the text in form of key words like abandon, innocence, revenge, strange land, rebirth, tear, brother and sister, penis, breasts, cake, murder, fight, greed, sex, violence, lynch, ghost, funeral, mourning, last word, skeleton, etc. The meaning of life and death has been revealed in the gloomy atmosphere covered with lightning and fire, rain and mist.”
——In The Returning Soul, Chen Yingsong enters into an extraordinary creating state. With holographic view different from daily life, as well as unique form different from traditional ghost novel, the author makes brave composition. This novel shows whole new structure with absurd words, unique images, a mass of synesthesia, and wide imagination, expanding the expression of life among modern Chinese novels.
