You’re on a first date with someone, and they tell you the name of their favorite book. You immediately leave. What’s the book?

From "The Start of Winter" by Liu Waitong, translated into English by Lucas Klein:

That corpse you planted in the winter of 2014 under Nathan Rd.,
has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
We will not ask again
When bells chime the night sky will be filled with mad stars.
