SHANGHAI BABY is a beautiful novel. The language is poetic and sensual yet funny and brutally honest. Coco is frank in her confusions, frustrations, elations, and joys. She is joined by a bevy of interesting characters, including a former madam, a computer hacker, a bisexual fashion stylist, an avant-garde filmmaker, drug addicts, and artists, not to mention her parents who must overcome their traditional expectations in order to understand and support her artistic and personal choices. Each character is faced with the same issues as Coco and each attempts to make sense of relationships, sexuality, family, and life in a changing Chinese culture. While Hui implies the struggle between tradition and modernity is lessening (at least in cosmopolitan Shanghai) her forecast for a woman's chance to find both sexual and emotional fulfillment is less optimistic.
Wei Hui studied Chinese Language and Literature at Fudan University in Shanghai, after a year of military training. Her first short story published at the age of 21. Her first novel "Shanghai Baby", after being #1 best seller overnight in China, was banned due to its explicit sexual scenes and bold portrait of china's new generation, and the publishing house was closed down for 3 months. Shanghai Baby became instantly an international best seller published in 34 languages over 45 countries for over 6 millions copies,it is so far the most sold Chinese contemporary literature.

评分有些人揭露生活的本质,我喜欢卫慧,一个用指间写作的女子 无视外界虚浮的评判 做得决裂,且有意思 安静的野心。 如是我闻。 与身体写作无关,身体倾斜
评分英国作家毛姆在其《刀锋》的开始引用了印度古经《迦托。奥义书》中的一句话:"一把刀的锋刃不容易跨越,因此智者说得救之道是困难的。" 生活中的确充满了大大小小的刀锋,卫慧用她的体验向我们讲述了这个刀锋上锐利的锋刃就在不远的地方。 锋刃离我们不远,就在地球村的...
评分刚刚看完《上海宝贝》,记得很久之前,在极光家,他在QQ与别人说这本书,然后告诉我这本书看后会让你有很大的购物欲望,之后就记得了这个名字,然后前几天在图书馆闲逛的时候想起来了,就在文儿查。我的记性并不好,也没带笔,来来回回看了好几次才记住了书号,每次穿过那条走...
评分在我的年代久远的记忆中,爱,曾经等同喜悦。 20世纪末,上海文坛出现了两个“宝贝”:安妮宝贝和卫慧的《上海宝贝》。《告别薇安》的晦暗和《上海宝贝》的放纵与歇斯底里,构成两道风景线,并且再次认证了“女作家不能写别人,只能写自己”的论据。 2000年的四月,我一个人,...
