Synopsis
Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable first collection of stories about China from an author set to become a major literary talent. In this extraordinary first collection, Yiyun Li brings us a modern China facing up to a complex history of repression and guilt. In Immortality, winner of the Paris Review prize, a young man bears a striking resemblance to the dictator, and so finds a strange kind of calling. In Extra, first published in the New Yorker, a Chinese woman, alone in middle age, befriends a young boy who has become an outcast in a remote country school. In their friendship, we see how love can begin to overcome the strictures that dominate their lives. In turn horrifying and breathtakingly lyrical, Yiyun Li, a new and talented young Chinese writer, confronts the silence that dominated the history of her country, and illuminates how mythology, politics, history and culture intersect with personality. She leaves us with an enduring vision of a country undergoing tremendous change.
旅美華裔作傢李翊雲,1991年鼕入學北京大學,為北大生物係學生。於96年前往美國求學,98年開始以英文寫作。距今已九載,期間榮獲多項榮譽,包括Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award和Whiting Writers Award。書中作者的幾篇經典短故事都已發錶於各書刊(Paris Review,New Yorker和Glimmer Train)。作者善於利用短故事來刻畫一種在國際化趨勢下社會的演進而産生的矛盾。把故事的背景和文脈設置在龐大且復雜的空間與時間軸上,用小人物的形象,心理變化和遭遇來暗示生活在社會過渡期裏的一種尷尬和不安。
雖然政治性確實強瞭一點,但是裏麵的小人物的故事很是稀飯,而且燃起瞭我看英文書的興趣。。。語言簡單易讀,但有些故事確實蕩氣迴腸的。。
評分The first Chinese writer who I read in English, what I learn from it is it's mighty hard to really write like a native.
評分以精心構思的短故事,刻畫齣中國在國際趨勢下所麵臨的倫理道德,新舊社會,思想政治和曆史文化上産生的矛盾與衝突。亦暗示瞭中國鮮為人知的另一個社會層麵。
評分found in uni.
