A Thousand Years of Good Prayers 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
There're so many reviews on Amazon.com which discuss the political aspects of the novel. But what I see the most is the author's attitudes to society, humanity and most essentially, love and marriage hidden behind her subtle and elegant lines. If you have r...
评分There is a perception that the intension of some Asian-American writers' writing is to satisfy the western readers' curiosity towards China. Therefore, the common theme of this kind of works is to show the "dark" said of China, for example, the untolerant p...
评分李翊云并不喜欢读者过多在意她的政治立场,中国的历史背景无可避免是她的小说的潜在舞台,但作品中并没有故意取巧的痕迹,正如她自己所说,她“不是在解剖大陆”而是在解剖人性。李翊云最喜欢的两位作家分别是爱尔兰著名小说家威廉•特雷佛(William Trevor) 和约翰•迈...
评分 评分(标题是解释《千年敬祈a thousand years of good prayers》的含义。与正文内容无关。起标题神马的最讨厌了。) 阅读李翊云的这本处女作,最亲切之处永远是那些译用了中国成语谚语歌谣的地方:如鲠在喉、如履薄冰、买椟还珠的故事、“人要脸树要皮”、“一二三四五,上山打老虎...

Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable new writer whose breathtaking stories are set in China and among Chinese Americans in the United States. In this rich, astonishing collection, Yiyun Li illuminates how mythology, politics, history, and culture intersect with personality to create fate. From the bustling heart of Beijing, to a fast-food restaurant in Chicago, to the barren expanse of Inner Mongolia, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers reveals worlds both foreign and familiar, with heartbreaking honesty and in beautiful prose.
“Immortality,” winner of The Paris Review’s Plimpton Prize for new writers, tells the story of a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a dictator and so finds a calling to immortality. In “The Princess of Nebraska,” a man and a woman who were both in love with a young actor in China meet again in America and try to reconcile the lost love with their new lives.
“After a Life” illuminates the vagaries of marriage, parenthood, and gender, unfolding the story of a couple who keep a daughter hidden from the world. And in “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,” in which a man visits America for the first time to see his recently divorced daughter, only to discover that all is not as it seems, Li boldly explores the effects of communism on language, faith, and an entire people, underlining transformation in its many meanings and incarnations.
These and other daring stories form a mesmerizing tapestry of revelatory fiction by an unforgettable writer.
前两个短篇就是开胃菜,后面每一个短篇都是致郁的神伤。看完接下来后的每一个短篇都郁结得想去操场跑圈。所有给li Yiyun的千年祈愿打三星的中国读者一定被深深地伤害了中国人的感情。作者算是个温柔的人,处处手下留情了
评分#3-4 stars. Def overrated.
评分不错,就是觉得写得太用力,失乎过于精巧。
评分稚嫩
评分房东邦尼让我看的一本书。读了两个故事:After life和 A thousand years of prayers。故事相对比较平淡。
