WEIKE WANG is a graduate of Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and her doctorate in public health. She received her MFA from Boston University. Her fiction has been published in or is forthcoming from Alaska Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train, The Journal, Ploughshares, Redivider, and SmokeLong Quarterly.
Three years into her graduate studies at a demanding Boston university, the unnamed narrator of this nimbly wry, concise debut finds her one-time love for chemistry is more hypothesis than reality. She's tormented by her failed research--and reminded of her delays by her peers, her advisor, and most of all by her Chinese parents, who have always expected nothing short of excellence from her throughout her life. But there's another, nonscientific question looming: the marriage proposal from her devoted boyfriend, a fellow scientist, whose path through academia has been relatively free of obstacles, and with whom she can't make a life before finding success on her own. Eventually, the pressure mounts so high that she must leave everything she thought she knew about her future, and herself, behind. And for the first time, she's confronted with a question she won't find the answer to in a textbook: What do I really want? Over the next two years, this winningly flawed, disarmingly insightful heroine learns the formulas and equations for a different kind of chemistry--one in which the reactions can't be quantified, measured, and analyzed; one that can be studied only in the mysterious language of the heart. Taking us deep inside her scattered, searching mind, here is a brilliant new literary voice that astutely juxtaposes the elegance of science, the anxieties of finding a place in the world, and the sacrifices made for love and family.

Always so fascinated by the interaction between science and art. Sometimes one would think maybe it’s enough to spend the days with a dog, smart or not.
評分全是共鳴,嗚哇一下哭瞭。it's a bitter heartbreak warped in science and humour.
評分A very sensitive confession from a young women. The reading experience is especially delightful because I could catch all the puns and metaphors!
評分如果說這是一個quarter life/identity crisis的故事,那也太片麵瞭。如果問為什麼她要有那麼多的掙紮和拉扯,睏惑和消極,那隻能說,if you have to ask the question, then you most likely won't understand the answer.
評分萌姐半個月讀完的書,我和大姐讀瞭四個月……最後還是個sad story……謝萌姐以大姐的名義慷慨贈書!
