If you want to comprehend the critical contemporary life, you need to read this book.
I regard myself as a surgeon when writing this book, my intention is to show the wounds and damage of the present society. In those sick years, the split of human nature and pain in society were so deep, and also so widespread. The stories in this book are only a slice of present painstaking life revealed by the author. To overlook or deny them means living in lies. Having pain is good for finding out the bottom line a human being can suffer. We may get through, may not get through, it depends.
This is a psychic description about the reality and beyond the reality. Timid readers, please prepare yourselves for the coming encounters!
There was a spiritual walker whose routine daily schedule was going to bed at six in the morning, which meant whose life activities were mainly based on nightlife. Naturally who saw unusual things happened more than other people, recently becoming more and more tragic, more and more intense. The most impressive happening was the roars, which were everywhere in the city, sometimes like lion's, sometimes as bear's, occasionally similar to hyena's. The roars were like a disease spreading so rapidly around here, the place I was talking about was New York City, the city of roars, the birth of rebellious souls.
If you didn't know the roars, you didn't know real New York even you had lived here for decades, because you were staying on the surface of the city life, did not touch the psychic level which had made this city to a drama generator, a jungle field displaying everything from minor mischief to tragic meaningless deaths. The dividing line between the nature of humans and the nature of animals had disappeared. The roars seemingly were overwhelming all over the city. Those stories happening in this book were nothing about the good or the bad, just overflowing as nature went, also which were nothing about beasts, animals, or ghosts and vampires. They were about something that actually happened, from odd appearances to the deep inside out, they were not fantasies, but much more fantasies than a fantasy could carry, and they were real!
In the whole human history, one truth never changed: The weak were slaughtered or slaved by the strong, and the strong defined what was the meaning of justice with whatever means, who always covered their evil intentions with the colorful images of an angel. The aftermath was the birth of roarers, those who disregarded the established social rules, acting according to their own will.
The protagonists introduced in this book were in New York, but could be anywhere in the world.
In this Second Edition, the author has made some necessary changes both to the text style and the content with full attention for aesthetic satisfaction.
