It consists of seven stories, most of which have been published earlier as magazine stories. When it first gets published, many reviewers regard it as a collection of stories, due to its seven loosely jointed stories with their seemingly irrelevant plots and themes. Nowadays, critics take a as a completed novel with different contrastive characters which make the stories more attractive and deepen the plots and themes.展开更多
