Image imitating a page from an old document, text (as in main toot): TO HOOP. To beat. I'll well hoop his or her barrel, I'll beat him or her soundly. A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

Book of da Month: The Last Quarter of the Moon by Chi Zijian 🦌

This is a 2005 novel by Chinese writer Chi Zijian. The Last Quarter of the Moon (额尔古纳河右岸) follows the life of a 90-year-old woman telling the story of a nomadic Evenki clan in Heilongjiang, northeast China. The work was translated into English for the first time in 2013 by Bruce Humes.

It’s a slow read with a narrative that mulls over every finer detail. If you can deal with its pacing then this will be a fascinating time of it, one that reveals an ancient way of life clashing with an unexpectedly modern setting.

90 Years of Observation in The Last Quarter of the Moon

“A long-time confidante of the rain and snow, I am ninety years old. The rain and snow have weathered me, and I too have weathered them.”

One of the key things with this book is the unsure sense of time. Reading the opening 50 pages, you’d think it’s set 300 years ago or some such. It’s only when you get into the second Part Two: Mid-Day that Chi Zijian drops a few contemporary notes.

It’s the 1930s and the Japanese invade China, then the Chinese go to war with Russia, and all the while the unnamed narrator provides details of her life well lived. And she has a lyrical, mystical way with words.

“I’m not a woman who excels at storytelling, but at this moment as I listen to the swishing of the rain and watch the dancing flames, I long for someone with whom to speak … Then let the rain and the fire listen to my tale. For I know these, like human beings, have ears too.”

The book is written from the perspective of circa 2000, the lady now having reached age 90. But everything she writes of, with the often primitive lifestyle of the Evenki people, harks back to ages gone. It’s an interesting offset, yet it does cover familiar cultural territory.

The decline of an indigenous way of life is something we’ve seen quite a lot of (think of the 1988 novel Dances With Wolves and its subsequent film adaptation).

Where The Last Quarter of the Moon differs is with its pacing. There are intricate details about the Evenki way of life, often focussing on how they lived off the land, but with particular emphasis on their sacred bond to the natural world (particularly with the local reindeer).

The heavy toll of globalisation is made clear. The secluded world of the Evenki people ends in the 1930s when Japan invades China and they’re dragged into it all, through which they attempt to maintain their close bonds as a nomadic clan. At one with nature, living off the land.

“We were unable to leave this river. We always treated it as our centre, living alongside its main tributaries. If the Argun is the palm of a hand, then its tributaries are five open fingers. They extend in different directions, illuminating our lives like flashes of lightning.”

The Last Quarter of the Moon is an insight into a disappearing way of life. Yet it is very meticulous in its focus on the Evenki people, to the point where we should think many readers will tire of the repetition. There are only so many times you want to re-read what they do with the reindeer and how much they rely on them.

The work is spread across only 300 pages, so if you’re willing to commit to that the pay off may feel profound. But it is a literary plodding way to get there, even if we must note Bruce Humes’ translation as a cosmic wonder. To make the story feel convincing for western readers took some real skill and passion.

A Bit About Chi Zijian

There’s a documentary above about Zijian that explores her family lineage. She was born in Mohe County, Heilongjiang, back in February 1964. She’s had novels published as early as 1991.

The Last Quarter of the Moon won Chi Zijian the Mao Dun Literary Prize in 2008. The award is based on the noted Chinese writer Mao Don (obviously) and is sponsored by the Chinese Writers Association.

More recently, she’s been actively involved in politics. She was a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and in 2020 became a vice-chairwoman of the Heilongjiang province. Her most recent novel launched in the same year as Smoke Fire Sweeps Through (烟火漫卷).

She’s had 12 novels published in total, but is likely a relative unknown to many readers in the west. She certainly was to us until we spotted this book on a Waterstones shelf a few months ago. We gave it a whirl and we’re glad we did, whilst the story can falter a little at times she certainly has a poetic, lyrical way with words.

"By day the bat is cousin to the mouse.
He likes the attic of an aging house.
His fingers make a hat about his head.
His pulse beat is so slow we think him dead.
He loops in crazy figures half the night
Among the trees that face the corner light.
But when he brushes up against a screen,
We are afraid of what our eyes have seen:
For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face."
- Theodore Roethke, "The Bat"

I pulled all my mother’s expectations

ST KILDA CROSSING by Lynn Valentine I pulled all my mother’s expectations with me, like a child’s kite, giddy with stir of spring. Because she was cancer-cracked I turned tourist by proxy, crouched into cleits looking for leavings of last century. I photographed fawn smallness of Soays felt the crash of wind-whipped stacs, my pockets salt-filled. I leant on those islands as my mother leant on me, filled my lungs with their breeze and leaping green language of sea. I tried to hold my breath for days, took it back to my mother, exhaled island air on her weakened frame – whispered broken stories of birds and rain.

Alasdair Roberts & Robin Robertson – Leaving St Kilda

At last we turn away, and see them
leading us: bow-riding dolphins,
our grey familiars,
and thirty gannets in a line
drawing straight from Boreray:
a gannet guard
for this far passage,
for the leaving of St Kilda.

A collaboration between folk musician Alasdair Roberts & poet Robin Robertson, from their album Hirta Songs.

Last Limp

Old old old fiction taking place within the Ruggizuomo storyline featured in Dragon Mafia

In the mist of New York, Roland Nikdydobrý was running in the rain. He had neither an umbrella nor a hat. He frantically looked around, as if he was searching for someone. He studied the crowd. There were no signs of steady movement. The people were walking like robots. He ran across the rainy streets, avoiding cars that honked at him but dared not stop. He stumbled into a nearby café. When that little bell rung, everyone slowly lifted their heads to stare at him. Their eyes were a thirsty blood red color. One woman reading a magazine stared at him with emerald green eyes. A teenage boy took his stare away from his iPhone to stare with blue eyes.

Roland gulped. His chest was heaving. He ran out the door but was met with a crowd of people surrounding him…staring at him. He dashed across the street, little light shone in the rainy and cloudy skies. He ran up to a payphone, probably the last of its kind, and dialed a number like a frantic man.

“Rugizzuomo Army, please!”

He constantly checked his surroundings with quick glances. He waited for someone to pick up, and finally a click.

“Maya! It’s Roland! Tell Riley I love him as a brother and I’ll miss him. I need this message delivered to Emperor Aaron. I am going to follow Beatrice to Illinois by posing as an entourage member. Someone is already letting me know they know I’m suspicious. I know because all of New York is possessed! Even when I was on something called the Wendy Williams show and the spell took affect there. Do not send forces until I end up dead and on the news!”

He hung up and frantically looked like someone on the run from police. He searched for a taxi while watching the surroundings. A man across the street stared at him. Another person across the street smiled. Everyone started smiling at him as the rain came down harder and the winds picked up like a hurricane. A newspaper flew in his face. Roland struggled with it, and when he ripped it off a taxi was right in front of him. He forced the door open and scrambled inside with haste.

“Drive!” He commanded as he slammed the door.

The wet man looked in the rear-view window and saw the taxi driver, whom was smiling and had eyes flooded with green colors. Roland stumbled out of the moving car and ran across the street and into the flowing crowd of walkers. They stopped to watch as he entered another taxi. He made his way inside and examined the driver. He smiled, but his smile wasn’t sinister and evil. The car drove off and Roland sighed with relief. As they came to an intersection Roland heard the sound of a speeding car. He looked out the window and another car slammed into the taxi. The left door creaked open and Roland, bloodied from his left cheek to his hand, fell out shaking and trembling. He stood up and limped across the sleek city streets. The world was spinning. Those red eyes still followed him like red neon lights.

There were 3 stories in the Last Limp saga. One preceded this, and was about Roland going to Illinois to monitor Beatrice. In this version Roland, brother of Riley, was investigating a cult of some sort. They called themselves Kuruga. It is left open to your interpretation. I will certainly not play with it.
