Abstract:

As an influential Chinese female writer in recent years, CHEN Yuhui has been renowned for exploratory and experimental
works. Her novel The Poseidon Family, published in 2004, focusing on women of three generations, narrates a Taiwan fable about the
story of a father's absence and recalls the private history of the family. In this strongly autobiography-colored novel, the author realized
her own discourse authority to the greatest extent and expressed her own deep thinking on social problems by skillfully using the female
narrative perspective, the narrative style with the combination of author and individual, and "abnormal" paralipsis as well as other
techniques.
