"I understand, "Raiko's Summer", right?"

Sharon Woodcock smiled and said: "Yes, it seems you have seen it."

"Yes, I have read it. I read it on the train. The novel is really good, and it has an oriental romantic atmosphere!"

"Thank you." Lin Chaoyang said.

Sharon Woodcock introduced the works of Paul Theroux again, "Paul Theroux is a travel writer. His work "Train Bazaar" is very famous in the United States. This is his first time in China.

.”

Listening to Sharon Woodcock's introduction, Lin Chaoyang suddenly realized that no wonder Paul Theroux's name seemed familiar to him when he just heard it. He turned out to be the author of "The Train Bazaar".

"Train Bazaar" is considered Paul Theroux's masterpiece. Since its publication in 1975, it has been praised by more and more readers as a classic of travel literature.

Of course, this book was not introduced into China. Lin Chaoyang’s understanding of Paul Theroux and his works came from the memories of later generations.

Lin Chaoyang recalled the behavior of this old man who belittled China and the United States just now. If it was him, it would not be difficult to understand.

Because this old man's style has always been like this, sarcastic, mean, and critical.

When he traveled around England, he said that "the whole of England was like a witch riding a pig";

On the Orient Express, he said, "The Orient Express is not as good as the shabbiest Madras train. On the latter, you can at least exchange your dirty meal coupons for vegetables and rice";

He said that "Bombay is noisy and chaotic, revealing the arrogance of a poor metropolis";

In later generations, this old man also wrote a travel diary in China, which was also full of venomous comments.

However, this old man's poisonous tongue does not distinguish between countries, cities, and races, emphasizing the equality of all living beings. As long as the old man is unhappy, it will be a diss.

But it is precisely this kind of vicious tongue that makes Paul Theroux's works stand out from the monotonous travel literature and form a unique style of his own.

Of course, it is impossible for any literary work to impress readers solely by its vitriolic words.

In addition to being acerbic, Paul Theroux's writings are also humorous, calm and delicate, so many years later he was revered by many as the godfather of modern travel literature.

After the introduction by Sharon Woodcock, Lin Chaoyang formally shook hands with Paul Theroux, and they were considered acquaintances.
