(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...
评分从图书馆借了这本书,因为作者有许多我熟悉的背景,至少可以了解,她对这个城市的看法,我当时想。显然,在小说里,我没有得到任何她对这个城市的直接的印象,但我看到一些别的。尽管只是一个短篇小说集,借了又续,懒散的我还是没把它看完。但我想先就我看完的发表一些观感。...

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.
dulllllll
评分I liked Extra(school), After a Life(ending) and Death is Not a Bad Joke(quadrangle life) over the other stories. When ever Li forced non-relevant historical context in, the stories were unpalatable.
