On Kindness - A profound story. It is beyond sadness and grief, purely depressing, with the coldness and the indifference shimmering out, filling the air, until it is almost unbearable. Yet near the end of the story, it changed into something slightly more ...
评分从New Yorker的一篇小说知道Yiyun Li。之前微博关注了一个同在纽约的文青博主,经常性地哀叹如果她可以早十年离开中国的话现在肯定能用英文写得一手好文章。可是Li本科毕业才出国,却可以用英文写小说并且写得这样好,我都没法再给自己找借口了。 New Yorker上那篇并没看完,...

评分2010-10-08 -------------------- 我稍有闲暇,就不思上进——今天又靠在枕上,花半晚看完一篇中篇小说,李翊云的Kindness,她新书Gold Boy, Emerald Girl里的第一篇。 一年半以前曾经写过blog介绍这个作家,当时对她的作品到为人都不以为然,还以为再也不会借这人的书来看。...

In these spellbinding stories, Yiyun Li, Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award winner and acclaimed author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers and The Vagrants , gives us exquisite fiction filled with suspense, depth, and beauty, in which history, politics, and folklore magnificently illuminate the human condition.
In the title story, a professor introduces her middle-aged son to a favorite student, unaware of the student’s true affections. In “A Man Like Him,” a lifelong bachelor finds kinship with a man wrongly accused of an indiscretion. In “The Proprietress,” a reporter from Shanghai travels to a small town to write an article about the local prison, only to discover a far more intriguing story involving a shopkeeper who offers refuge to the wives and children of inmates. In “House Fire,” a young man who suspects his father of sleeping with the young man’s wife seeks the help of a detective agency run by a group of feisty old women.
Written in lyrical prose and with stunning honesty, Gold Boy, Emerald Girl reveals worlds strange and familiar, and cultures both traditional and modern, to create a mesmerizing and vibrant landscape of life.

评分偶尔会想到奥康纳。金童玉女的结尾可以说是很温情了,其实挺突兀的。尽管作者本人强调自己从不用中文写作,这书读起来却仿佛在读中文一般……
评分不是每一个故事都喜欢,但是我喜欢她故事里的孤独感。以旁观者的口吻讲述,有种波澜不惊的意象,更能触动我。
评分萌萌姐的安利!听说李用英文写作是因为她妈看不懂 果然妈妈问题没有解决方案hhhhh
评分里面的短篇还是写得不太好,但是中篇kindness写得的确很不错。
