In his first book of stories since "The Bridegroom "was published in 2000 ("Finely wrought . . . Every story here is cut like a stone."--"Chicago Sun-Times"), National Book Award-winning Ha Jin gives us a collection that delves into the experience of Chinese immigrants in America. With the same profound attention to detail that is a hallmark of his previous acclaimed works of fiction, Ha Jin depicts here the full spectrum of immigrant life and the daily struggles--some minute, some grand--faced by these intriguing individuals. A lonely composer takes comfort in the antics of his girlfriend's parakeet; young children decide to change their names so that they might sound more "American," unaware of how deeply this will hurt their grandparents; a Chinese professor of English attempts to defect with the help of a reluctant former student. All of Ha Jin's characters struggle in situations that stir within them a desire to remain attached to be loyal to their homeland and its traditions as they explore and avail themselves of the freedom that life in a new country offers. In these stark, deeply moving, acutely insightful, and often strikingly humorous stories, we are reminded once again of the storytelling prowess of this superb writer.

一直有一個成見,HAJIN基本就是一個中國八十年代的標本,這極大限製瞭他題材的與時俱進,看過他的The Bridegroom和WAITING,不知道他是不是中國的契剋夫;我也不覺得他總是按照洋人口味寫中國人,起碼這次封麵不再印小腳女人、長辮子瞭——可能是洋人觀念與時俱進瞭。 基本同...

評分2009年的書,記載的故事卻像是20年前的。 讀此書的時候,想起瞭那部在美國流傳甚廣的關於華人移民的電影《Saving Face》。 也許縱然每一代的移民都有著不同的掙紮,糾結是一定的。 作者的語言輕盈,敘事並不拖遝,一氣嗬成。 一個個短小的故事,平凡的人物,卻牽動著我這個讀...

看瞭感覺活著好纍
評分求英文原版。。。
評分讀不下去瞭,too flat
評分剛去完紐約,然後在飛機上讀,感覺就在身邊。
評分中國人和人生的悲哀,severed tie的悲哀。平凡而艱辛的人生故事,錶現得像老一代移民那樣堅韌和不動聲色,連挫敗都是淡淡然的。我們為什麼要到這裏來,而究竟又為什麼而存在?短篇小說結構非常Classic,人物及其conflicts 設定得精準和迅速。
