李喬的文字一向尖銳、多變，而又謹守著文學必須誠實的面對自我、不可說謊的原則，因此在這篇他自認是人生中最後一篇的長篇小說裡，他省思了台灣的歷史，希望台灣能脫出「詛咒」，另求重生。又在寫作手法上，他以虛實交替並神遊時空的寫作技巧，巧妙說出個人的主觀意識，毫無隱藏地說出自己的生命歸宿與政治信仰，這完全剖白的一面，也是極值探述之處。文學書寫生命，李喬在此部小說中，完全展現了這個真諦。

Li Qiao’s words are always sharp, changeful, but face to ourselves with honesty. Therefore, he thought this article is the last full-length novel in his life. He looks over the history of Taiwan, and he hopes Taiwan could escape from the ‘curse’ and find ways to be reborn. In the writing technique, he travel time and space by alternating false and true. He tells us about his subjective consciousness without hiding any ideas of his life and political beliefs.
