如果我不是中國讀者,我會給四星的。
評分房東邦尼讓我看的一本書。讀瞭兩個故事:After life和 A thousand years of prayers。故事相對比較平淡。
評分還蠻queer的,(self-) translation的問題也很有趣。
評分dulllllll
評分不錯,就是覺得寫得太用力,失乎過於精巧。
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.

評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。...
