摘　　要：COCOON,ZHANG YUERAN [WORLD EDITIONS,OCTOBER 4]Silkworms make their cocoons from one single thread.Unreeling a dead worm’s cocoon is a long and tiresome process,exposing a grisly truth at the center.In the same way,Zheng Yueran,a writer born in the 1980s,slowly spools back the many narrative layers surrounding a horrific crime from the Cultural Revolution,until there’s no longer any silky disguise to the naked truth.Zheng takes an interesting approach by telling the tale from the viewpoints of"post-80s"younglings of her own generation,Li Jiaqi and Cheng Gong,whose narratives inherit the trauma of the past while interweaving and contradicting each other.Originally published in Chinese in 2016,Cocoonis testament to the skill of the foremost of China’s new literary vanguard.
