最开始接触李翊云并不是因为这本书,而是她的那本回忆录《Dear Friend, From My Life I Write Into Your Life》。那本书我读起来觉得像是另一个我在表达,heart-breaking, bleak, stiff, holding back but emotional underneath. 更多的关于那本书的评价我打算看完以后再写。总...

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...
评分一个偶然的机会,读了李翊云2003在New Yorker上的短篇Extra,并开始对她产生兴趣。于是找出了她的另外两部短篇:《The old country》和《Eat, Memory; Orange Crush》。之后又在网上做了点功课,得知她1996年北大生物毕业到爱荷华大学读免疫,后来转为小说创作,2005年的处女短...

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.
