Who knows what the book The Dogs of Babel tells us?

Okay, you see, I've got it here, give me the email and I'll send it to you.

Sorry, I haven't seen it.

The Dogs of the Tower of Babel takes Lucy's bizarre death as a starting point, and is a journey back in time to explore the truth: when life comes to an abrupt end, when the deep hidden secrets gradually emerge, the reader suddenly realizes that the real horror is not death, but the Babel of the soul that can never be built together between people. ** Lucy's complete collapse from depression and disorientation to mental state is the epitome of many modern people.

In this sense, Lucy's suicide is also a manifestation of modern people's mental weakness and passive avoidance.

The theme of The Dogs of Babel is communication and understanding. As a linguist, Paul did not have the ability to communicate with his wife in language, and even relied on dreams and psychological counseling to understand his wife's past, and even whimsically wanted to understand his wife's deathbed situation by teaching the dog to speak. An expert who studies human communication styles does not know the reason for his wife's suicide and does not know that his wife was pregnant before her death undoubtedly shows the difficulty of communication between people.

However, he eventually learns the truth about his wife's suicide and gains peace of mind with "the consolation of forgiveness washing away the rifts and anxiety in my heart", which seems to imply that the possibility of communication still exists.

The Dogs of Babel is about the dignity and helplessness of life. Lucy is a mentally handicapped person who cherishes her love for Paul, but cannot tolerate any intervention from Paul, she has been battling suicidal desires, and finally remains lost in the dark world. Lucy's suicide was heartbreaking, but she did her best.

"The Dogs of Babel" is a best-seller**, and the author has taken great pains in both plot setting and detailed arrangement. ** Follow two threads, one is Paul's search for the cause of his wife's death, and the other is the sequence of Paul's acquaintance with Lucy, and the two lines meet when Paul learns about Lucy's death. Paul's search for answers is a bit like a detective's plot, and the chapter that retells the relationship between the two is a sad love story.

Both occupations are full of allusions, Paul is a linguist, but neglects linguistic communication with his wife; As a mask-maker, Lucy's inner world always seems to be hidden behind the mask. Paul and Lucy's love affair begins on the way to Disneyland and ends with death after Mardi Gras. In the beginning, the legend of the samurai Tanlin and the fairy queen ended up as a clue that Lucy left for Paul.

In terms of literary quality, it is difficult to say how good "The Dogs of Babel" is, and it is not uncommon to see two periods of time and space interspersed, with few characters and no amazing brushstrokes. Perhaps because the author is a woman, her careful grasp of the details of daily things and ordinary life, and her grasp of the thoughts of men and women in marriage and love, all show the subtle delicacy and subtle lethality of words.

The accidental death of his wife, was the cause of death an accident or suicide? The only witness was her pet dog "Luo Li". In this sense, the "Dog of Babel" in the title is the main "character" of the whole ** story - it is he who drives the development of the storyline.
