20 17 1 1 the rich list of Chinese writers is the rich list of foreign writers, among which nobuyuki won the first place in the rich list of foreign writers! Keigo Higashino seems to have become an outstanding writer. For such a figure, his achievements have been widely recognized by the world, and his works have created a certain value. For such a figure, not reading his works is not his loss, but our loss.
This year's double 1 1 entered this set of Keigo Higashino's four reasoning suits when books were discounted everywhere. I like reading complete sets of books. Keigo Higashino has published dozens of books in China, so I'm still a little picky about my ideas. A set of books is like a guidebook. He gives you a guide and shows you a direction so that you won't get lost in the vast sea of books.
There are four books in this set, which are Dedication of Suspect X, Malice, New Participants and After School. The question is, why this? Nothing else? And the reading order is also very important. I think the order I listed is also the best reading order for editors. After reading the whole set of books, I didn't know why the editor chose books in this way and arranged them in this way.
The publication of "The Dedication of Suspect X" was in 2005, which is the accumulation after Keigo Higashino was shortlisted for Naoki Award for many years. This is also a watershed for Keigo Higashino to be promoted to a super-class writer. The suspense design of The Dedication of Suspect X is very mature. It can be seen that Dongye's works become more and more imaginative and mature after this book.
Malicious and New Participants are Dongye's works after 2000, and personally, they are also one of the best-looking works. In particular, new participants are no longer simple reasoning, but have encapsulated the kindness and warm love of human nature. It has injected a warm current into suspense recommendation and mystery novels, which is particularly touching.
The last book is after school. This book is very simple. The whole book is actually a secret room decryption, and a story is built on this basis. Today, it seems that this design is very thin and the story has no thickness. But this book, written in 1985, is Dongye's famous work. That year, I won the 3 1 Edogawa random walk award with this book. Since then, I have embarked on the road of professional writers.
After the above introduction, I think the editor's purpose in choosing these four books is self-evident. First look at a masterpiece of the Dongye Award, and then look at the outstanding works in recent times. At this time, we have a strong interest in the author, and finally look at Dongye's famous works. Well, I think it should be this kind of thinking, very good book selection thinking.
Comparing these four books, there are some interesting things to share, such as:
The role of mathematics
I'm afraid most people have returned the math they learned after work to their teachers. The remaining mathematical ability may be limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, accounting and shopping. The protagonists in Dongye's novels often have high mathematical literacy. The mathematical ability of characters is not only reflected in their studies, but also in their reasoning ability, analytical ability and investigation ability. Every plot advancement involves a rigorous reasoning process.
In fact, the integration of mathematical thinking into life and work has been greatly reflected in our education. I think many math problems in my primary school and junior high school are well combined with practical problems, such as letting you calculate the ladder electricity bill, plane management and so on. It's just that I feel that this combination is not enough, and more research is needed, or the whole society forms an atmosphere like logical analysis and rational thinking. And it is really not easy to do.
Pay attention to teenagers' problems
For example, campus violence, adolescent sexual psychology. There may be many negative things involved in this aspect. Although it is not a glorious thing, it is not a way to avoid talking or paying attention. Dongye's novels tell us that these problems are not well guided and handled in adolescence, and children who grow up with such problems will turn these problems into social problems. At this time, the consequences are not just as simple as education.
Looking back, Keigo Higashino, a science graduate majoring in electrical engineering, has embarked on the road of writing. Before winning the Luan Bu Prize and Naoki Prize, they entered the competition many times, but they didn't win the prize for many years, but they persisted and never gave up. His writing attitude has always been very serious, which can be seen from the quality of his works.
Dongye, who is 60 years old this year, has a successful career, but he still keeps writing. Although there are many works, they are not mature works, and he will never produce them. I really feel a little awe of such an old man and hope to see his new work in the future. I also believe that his works will get better and better.
