Chapter 368: Possibility of winning
"Mr. Colm seems to have noticed something else?"

Colm suddenly fell silent and Joyce, who was sitting next to him, smiled.

There is no doubt that Ryukawa Toru's works are of award-winning quality. The other party, as a critic, is undoubtedly miscalculating in his idea of belittling Ryukawa Toru's novel collection by comparing it with "The Dead".

"The main plot focuses on "starting from waiting for the bus to the hospital until the examination is completed and boarding the bus back."

Colm said nothing, but Joyce thought this was a good opportunity.

Interpreting the works of Ryukawa Tetsu allows everyone to see the depth of the works in literature.

“The literary perception gives people an illusion of being neither hurried nor slow, but the calm rhythm of the writing is filled with dark, strange, and illogical puzzles.”

Jane Joyce liked this way of writing because her grandfather did the same.

I didn't understand it at first reading, but I was terrified when I read it again. After reading it ten times, the main plot hidden in the main story gradually emerged.

“As for the meaning of “Blind Willow and Sleeping Beauty”, I think it refers to the most original version of the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”.”

Many things need to be made clear before people will be surprised to find out how they are.

Blind Willow and Sleeping Girl sounds like a name that suggests a topic in terms of content, but.
"It comes from an ancient European legend, first seen in the medieval novel collection "Persephore" and the medieval epic collection "Volsung". The plot is as follows: Prince Troilus fell in love with Zelandina, and the goddess Themis was jealous. Themis used her magic power to inject poison into Zelandina's finger, making her unconscious. The prince found Zelandina and stayed by her side. After a long time, he couldn't stand the loneliness, so he had sex with Zelandina and made her pregnant - MiJ."

The answer is right on the surface of the riddle. The woman in the boy’s memory was pointed out by the mystery man a long time ago, but no one can discover it except a few people.

"Because of what he saw and heard when he was young, he chose to put up a wall between himself and others, because he knew that he was powerless in the face of many things?"

This short article by Ryukawa Tetsu undoubtedly provides a deep interpretation of the inner world of a seemingly indifferent person.

My cousin is 7 years old. He has been deaf in his right ear since he was years old and has not been cured in years.

"I" showed indifference to everything about him.

"The superficial manifestation is the loneliness of isolating oneself from the outside world, but digging deeper reveals the powerlessness towards the 'cousin' and the injured girl."
-
Flies swarmed and ate the girl's flesh.
-
I thought of the tiny flies that lived in his ears.
-
Their six legs, sticky with sweet pollen, slid into her warm, dark body, biting the soft pink flesh, sucking the juices, and laying tiny eggs in her head.

What seemed like just nice text turned out to have terrifying powers after being interpreted. The girl was raped and the patient could not be cured for eight years.

“It’s a desperate loneliness.”

Some people marvel at the ingenuity of this article, and its level of detail is rare in the East.

“Eastern narrative style.”

Someone added another sentence.

"Okay, okay."

Because of Joyce's analysis, people around him suddenly praised the article, and Colm became moody.

In his opinion, Longchuan Che was just an unknown oriental boy, and he didn't understand why he could write such a work.

"Let's talk about the follow-up of this Frank Novel Award."

Colm knew what Joyce wanted to do, and he also knew what the other party wanted to do.

Ryukawa Toru's writing style is very similar to that of her grandfather. She also likes to contain a lot of puzzles and information in short texts. "Ulysses" has even been called an incomprehensible book.

Ryuukawa Toru is undoubtedly a genius, but he cannot let this genius win the award.

“What’s next for the Frank Novel Prize?”

One of the judges asked in confusion.

They hadn't even finished their shortlist when Colm suddenly brought this up.

"Mr. Durand from the Congress approached me before the selection process began."

It was strange that the judges of the literary award were placed in the Parliament Building. Colm looked at Joyce and then at Maeve Binchy, the editor-in-chief of The Irish Times.

The three of them are the main judges of this year's Frank Novel Prize, and have nearly half of the rights of this year's Frank Novel Prize.

The three are a critic, a scholar, and a magazine editor.

The fact that the three people have different literary styles almost guarantees the fairness of this selection. "It has been three consecutive years since an Irish winner of the Frank Novel Award has been awarded."

The Frank Short Story Prize is the world's leading Irish literary award.

This novel award is known for its fairness and authority. It is also because there are many foreign winners that Takeda Maki allowed Ryukawa Toru to participate.

"What do you mean?"

Some of the judges curled their lips. It seemed that Colm knew something they didn't know.

Joyce sighed in the crowd. She just found out about this today.

Originally with her support, Longchuan Che had a certain chance of winning the award, but now.

"If foreigners continue to win the award, Congress will consider abolishing the Frank Fiction Prize."

Joyce sighed and mentioned the fact that the selection was held at the old parliamentary building.

A country's literary awards are often established to enhance the country's literary status.

The Princess of Asturias Award in Spain and the Frank Novel Award in Ireland.

The founding support for these awards may insist on serious fairness and rigor, but after it has a certain authority.

“The winner this time has to be Irish.”

Colm rapped on the table to make the fact clear.

The status of an award brings literary status. The fact that the Frank Novel Prize has been won by foreigners for many years has been criticized. Now the judges are gathered in the old parliamentary building. Colm pointed out this fact.

"This"

Some people were surprised and dissatisfied.

If it were originally, "The Dead" would be a masterpiece, but now.

“What about this short story?”

Some pointed to The Ghost of Lexington by Toru Ryuukawa.

This novel showed superb writing skills at the first chapter alone, and the winner has already been decided before the award ceremony even started.

“Perhaps he could take Irish citizenship now.”

Colm sneered.

Most of the people present were Irish, and although the Congress’s request was a bit rude, most people would not refuse it.

“The Dead is also a very good novel.”

Colm picked up John Banville's work.

"The winner of this year's Frank Novel Prize must be in the country."
