As a storyteller, Yi-Chun Ro raises two radical issues in the Western Xia Hotel: the first is, “Why is there history and not, rather, nothing?” Second, “How does the story become infinite?” Regarding the first question, Ro’s writing offers a micro-sensation, the discovery of space-time of the before entrance of the story. As to the second, Western Xia Hotel offers a world in which there are words in the story, but each word in turn is a story, too. It seems that the writing is already confused with Leibniz’s universe. Yet, beyond these singular forms, it is a History of becoming that haunts Western Xia Hotel. From the injury of becoming in Time, Ro endeavors to write a space-time block, which is literary fiction in the strong sense. |
