A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers heralds the American debut of a remarkably gifted young writer.
Twenty-three-year-old Zhuang, the daughter of shoe factory owners in rural China, has come to London to study English. She calls herself Z because English people can’t pronounce her name, but she’s no better at their language. Set loose to find her way through a confusion of cultural gaffes and grammatical mishaps, she winds up lodging with a Chinese family and thinks she might as well not have left home. But then she meets an English man who changes everything. From the moment he smiles at her, she enters a new world of sex, freedom, and self-discovery. But she also realizes that, in the West, “love” does not always mean the same as in China, and that you can learn all the words in the English language and still not understand your lover.
Drawing on her diaries from when she first arrived in the UK, Xiaolu Guo winningly writes the story in steadily improving English grammar and vocabulary. Freshly humorous, sexy, and poignant, A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers is an utterly original novel about language, identity, and the cultural divide.</p>

评分 评分I am not sure if the "bad English" thing works. How does the author decide which words the main character knows, and which ones she doesn't? Surely there's some kind of general rules where one learns about simpler words first and then move on to more compli...
评分翻过封面,背面写着:...first novel in (deliberately bad) English is a romantic comedy about... believe me, it is not a comedy, except for the beginning. Maybe that applies for most of the romances in the world.
把留学英国的中国女生刻画得如此无助迷惘脆弱毫无目标,让人气不打一处来。

评分看了一本小说,引起了很大的共鸣。 我的生活有一半和女主角非常相似呢。 和外国男友的经历什么的,都融会贯通到书里,像是在看自己的小说一样呢。 哈哈。
