This vibrant companion to modern day China in many ways resembles an older version of China’s civilisation. Her first encounter leads her to discover Rakshasa street and its young guardian Cao Yan Bing, a descendent of the renowned conqueror Cao Cao though not a relative of Chandler.

I have finally worked out where Paradoxia Grande is going and how it ends – roughly. But, I need to get a bit better at writing. My problem, perhaps as a symptom of being autistic, is a terrible tendency to get a bit repetitive accompanied by a lack of descriptive writing. My sentence structures also follow a strange violation of English, not in the deliberate fragmented Joycean manner but in the way I try and say too much or give too much detail in a single sentence so that it stretches on longer than a person could ever hope to retain the breath to speak and therefore, assumedly, be able to consider in one singular thought without having to double check they read it correctly and thus break themselves out of the flow of reading and lose the immersion that good writing inspires in people to better facilitate their involvement with the rich inner lives of the characters and the emotions or events that are being described. Where to go with this terrible propensity to be overly boorish? Back to Austen I thought, and free indirect discourse. That’s what I love about writing a book how you want it written, there’s absolutely no reason you can’t change how to narrate at any point during the course of it. With that in mind, I wanted to start looking at moving away from the first-person narrative which occurs probably around 1/3 of the way through and for the next chapters move onto F.I.D. Which is probably a lot more like the initial style.
Wait there, this is a film review you may be quandering, what is the relevance of all this? Well, funny you should ask. The name of the film is “I am Dragon” and I wanted to move away from first person things and so in my mind there was a mystic connection between the film and I. Serendipitous in its overt first-personiness, I thought it may be worth a bash. This will hopefully be a free indirect review of a film, it may not be great, but we’ll see. |
