Subtitle of this chapter: The gray shadow covering the British and American literary circles

The sun was about to rise to the highest point of the day. Annatasia, the daughter of Peter and Chechlin's wife, who had never been so tired, finally woke up. She was a little disappointed to find that the strange but good physical strength of the Chinese had left.

Anna stretched her waist and was about to get up, but she found the stack of manuscripts on the bedside table. She picked it up and saw the bright red line of inscriptions, for-the-red-queen-of-the-queens-county..

Dedicated to the Red Queen in Queens? Is this dedicated to me?

Anna was a little confused. She didn't see Neo holding this manuscript in her hand yesterday. Could it be that I didn't notice this incident at all last night?

Thinking of last night, the Red Queen in Queens turned red, she shook her head and then looked up at the title of the manuscript:

"fifty-shades-of-grey".

"The novel "fifty-shades-of-grey" is not unfamiliar to readers from all over the world. However, in 1922, when this novel first appeared in front of the world, it was shocking. Conservatives regarded it as the cult of Sodom City (Translator's Note 2), radicals praised it as the Western "Indian Love Sutra", and for the general public, this book opened a door to a new world. Some people even believed that this was a great advancement in human sexual behavior..."

Translator's Note 1: The Chinese version is translated as "Fifty Shades of Gray" or "Fifty Shades of Gray."

Translator's Note 2: A city with corrupt customs recorded in the Bible-Old Testament. It is located in the south of the Dead Sea and has now sunk to the bottom of the water.

"The storyline of this book is quite simple. It tells the story of a 21-year-old innocent female college student named Anasia-steele. Because she made a report for the school newspaper, she went to interview 28-year-old handsome young entrepreneur Christian Grey. The two fell in love and quickly got married. However, after marriage, Anna discovered the other side of her husband's unknown. After a lot of inner struggle, she began to explore her desire between white and black with her husband. In fact, even in terms of plot alone, this has exceeded the general perception of women at that time. So it is no surprise that feminists regard this book as a precursor to women's self-liberation. And it can be said that this is a description of the future, and some people have also classified it as soft science fiction novels..."

"And his bold and explicit description of abnormal sexual behavior and s/m also attracted the attention of psychologists. At the beginning of this century, the "father of psychoanalysis", Sigmund Freud, who established the "first psychoanalytic school of Vienna", and Carl Gustav Jung, who pioneered the "three-level personality of consciousness, individual unconsciousness and collective unconsciousness", both wrote special works for this book. The former is "Totem and Taboo-Research on Taboo Sex/Behavior of Humanity", while the latter is "Looking at Christianity and Demon Worship from s/m"..." (Note 1)

"But the most fascinating thing about the book "fifty-shades-of-grey" for us British and American literature researchers is actually the same question. Who is the author? This question is so fascinating and confused that this unknown writer of the famous novel is even dubbed "Jack the Ripper of 20th Century English Literature."

"At the end of 1921, an Eastern European woman with a red haired head of hair with the same name as the heroine came to Chicago alone. She rented a small private house with a small savings. After recruiting two young women from Eastern Europe, she opened the first "palace-of-red-queen". Because of the special services she provided, it became a leisure place for gentlemen to flock to. The scale of the Red Queen's Palace expanded rapidly. By the end of 1922, there were more than twenty girls in her job. Because of the shortage of supply, the membership system had to be adopted.

However, they attracted imitators. They dug up girls who had received training from Ms. Annastasia Steele through a lot of money and wanted to build their own ‘Palace of Red Queen’. To their surprise, Ms. Steele deserves the surname Steele (Translator's Note 2), and she quickly counterattacked. Her counterattack simply divided the book “fifty-shades-of-grey” into more than a dozen paragraphs, and printed one paragraph into a booklet for her customers. So the book appeared in front of the world in this way. However, this did not affect Ms. Steele's business, but instead made her and her ‘Palace of Red Queen’ famous…”

Translator's Note 1: Windy City is the nickname of Chicago.

Translator's note 2: Steele is the transliteration of steel.

"Of course, someone asked Ms. Steele whether she was the author, and her answer was written by a friend. Moreover, as an adult woman who only officially started learning English after she arrived in the United States, it can be confirmed that she does not have the ability to control such a long work..."

"In the 1920s, some people believed that it was written by the British writer D.H. Lawrence (Translator's Note 1), but he himself denied it. Another view is that based on his gentle style of prose and sentences and his accurate grasp of female psychology, this should be a female writer. Unfortunately, this 'Margaret Duras of the 1920s' has never been found..."

Translator's note 1: david-herbert-lawrence (September 11, 1885 - March 2, 1930), a 20th century British writer.
