Modern storyteller

dern storyteller
Market on the child in the mainland, or in the restaurant, the storyteller has seen some people. They are the people who are mostly illiterate audience, the lyrics or the way to study, accompanied by one o'clock the speed of the rhyme tune ups and downs, about our culture's popular novels such as Romance of Three Kingdoms, Qi Xia five justice and so on. Do not know now there is no industry on the mainland, but the Chinese community in the United States has seen better in a modern storyteller.
The most common is the storyteller around the book club in person. Sometimes the same day to discuss the book's author, but most of the faithful will read the book to share some of their thoughts. For example, wisteria in the Silicon Valley in late July at the Friends book, we read we talk about personal name of local Taiwanese writer, Huang's feelings, there was a young man, also painted yellow cat out (Figure a) shows or a yellow children's literature authors and illustrators. President Zhou Fenna because only seen him in Taipei, about his life and writing, very familiar, let us learn more about Huang. Now he has scheduled in October to the Bay Area to talk about his writing, there will be a lot of his readers would go.
This new book by the author for their activities, there are many different ways. Recent Bay Area writer Zhang Ci (Figure II) in a Silicon Valley Association of women, similar to the small "birthday" of the forum will be the same as described in her book "My Journey to the West - from Yunnan to California." Then made by the friends of the new book and her personal views. Mostly because of her literary friends, but also are aware of this book talked about Sino-US cultural conflicts of marriage and a middle-class American family life, including how to raise children, how and relatives from the United States, how the real estate business, etc., so we brought in to buy her books, the most in the position to give her some old friends praise and suggestions.
Most of the book will be published both as Miss Zhang Yingying (Figure 3), to promote her to commemorate her daughter Iris Chang's book, as written. Usually in a library meeting room, first introduced by the author write a book of motivation and content of the book, then answer audience questions, and then signed books and other readers. Of course, some big name authors in the book, or even like to write Red Azalea (Rhododendron red) famous Min Angel (Anchee Min) (Figure D), as in Washington Square, sponsored by the Library of Congress National Book Fair in the few large-scale hundred introduce her new book, and then for the long lines of readers to sign the book.
There is also a story-telling activity is selected from the literature and experts on a topic to introduce world famous. For example, in the Bay Area Professor Xia Zuchao (Figure E) has recently appeared on the mid-20th century existentialism, described Saudi Arabia, Camus, Kafka, Simone de Beauvoir, Kenzaburo Oe, Dusi Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, etc. a writer. They also introduced the novel "stranger", "Castle", "Kalamazoo brothers to help her husband", "amoeba" and other books. Field notes also outline the audience to learn a lot of knowledge outside the book.
As the busy modern life, we do not have energy in the desert where ancient and modern books, choose books that should be seen. But the membership book, these storytellers, we can understand that the theme of the book and its historical background, but also by the author's own demeanor and conversation, the better to appreciate the book outside of the feelings. If each person is a living book, listening to a book may be more rewarding than reading a book.
