I often find myself embarrassingly earnest as a person – it’s not very cool.’

Xiaolu Guo: ‘It would be tacky to ask: can you forgive me for writing this?’ Interview by Hephzibah Anderson in The Guardian, April 8, 2023.

People always say it’s harder to heal a wounded heart than a wounded body. Bullshit. It’s exactly the opposite—a wounded body takes much longer to heal. A wounded heart is nothing but ashes of memories. But the body is everything. The body is blood and veins and cells and nerves. A wounded body is when, after leaving a man you’ve lived with for three years, you curl up on your side of the bed as if there’s still somebody beside you. That is a wounded body: a body that feels connected to someone who is no longer there.

The new memoir from prize-winning writer and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo - playful, provocative and original, it's her deeply personal take on striving for a life of her own.

'When it comes to spinning light and shadow on the complexities of living, loving and language, Xiaolu Guo is one of the most valuable writers in the world. The world can seem strange and lonely when you step away from your family and everything you have tried to call your own. Yet beauty may also appear. In the autumn of 2019 Xiaolu travelled to New York to take up her position as a visiting professor for a year, leaving her child and partner behind in London.

The encounter with American culture and people threatens her sense of identity and throws her into a crisis - of meaning, desire, obligation and selfhood. This is a memoir about separation - by continents, by language, and from people. It's about being an outsider and the desperate longing to connect.

Xiaolu uses her exploration of language (one of the meanings of the word 'radical' is the graphic component, or root, of Chinese characters), and her own life, to create this unique text. At once a memoir, a dictionary, and an ardent love letter, it is an expression of her fascination with Western culture and her nostalgia for Eastern landscapes, and an attempt to describe the space in between. An archive of an artist's search for creative freedom, it is above all else an intimate account of her efforts to carve out a life of her own.

Radical in angle of attack, smart and brave.

‘愛’，這個英語單字：像其他英語單字一樣，它有時態。 「愛過」或「將愛」或「已經愛過」。 所有這些特定的時態都意味著愛是有時間限制的。 不是無限的。 它只存在於特定的時期。 在中文裡，愛就是「愛」（ai）。 它沒有時態。 沒有過去和未來。 中文裡的愛意味著一種存在、一種情景、一種狀態。 愛是存在，承載著過去與未來。 如果我們的愛是以中文時態存在，那麼它將天長地久。 它將是無限的。

—— 郭小櫓 《簡明漢英情侶辭典》

“‘Love’, this English word: like other English words it has tense. 'Loved’ or 'will love’ or 'have loved’. All these specific tenses mean Love is time-limited thing. Not infinite. It only exist in particular period of time. In Chinese, Love is '爱’ (ai). It has no tense. No past and future. Love in Chinese means a being, a situation, a circumstance. Love is existence, holding past and future. If our love existed in Chinese tense, then it will last for ever. It will be infinite.”

Patton, you Americans take watching films much too seriously. It's like going to church for you. For us, going to the cinema is just the same as going to the market to buy cabbages.
