Set among a remote cluster of cave dwellings in Shanxi province, There's Nothing I Can Do When I Think of You Late at Night is a genre-defying expose of rural communism. In a series of vivid, interlocking vignettes, several narrators speak of adultery, bestiality, incest, and vice, revealing the consequences of desire in a world of necessity. The Wen Clan Caves are based on an isolated village where the author, Cao Naiqian, lived during the Cultural Revolution. The land is hard and unforgiving and the people suffer in poverty and ignorance. Through the individual perspectives of the Wen Clan denizens, a complete portrait of village life takes shape. Dark yet lyrical, Cao's snapshots range from pastoral stories of childhood innocence to shocking accounts of brutality and terror. His work echoes William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, yet the author's depictions of elemental passions and regional mores make the book entirely his own. Celebrated for its economy of expression, flashes of humor, and an emphasis on understatement rarely found in Chinese fiction, There's Nothing I Can Do When I Think of You Late at Night is an excellent introduction to the power and craft of Cao Naiqian. His vivid personalities and unflinching realism herald the haunting work of an original literary force.

那个,那个,想你想的睡不着着觉,咋整尼。 《到黑夜想你没办法》,这个书名可挺怪。我给一个女同学推荐,她听了以后假装没听清,又叫说一遍名字。我傻了吧唧的就又说了一遍,半天才闹机明是逗我。可话都说出去了,咋整,再说让小丫头的占点便宜不算吃亏。 作...
评分我们这一代搞小说评论的知道曹乃谦,恐怕都是因为马悦然的一句话。他说:“曹乃谦是中国最一流的作家之一,他和李锐、莫言一样都有希望获得诺贝尔文学奖。”他还对大陆文学批评界忽视这么一位艺术上有很高成就的作家而感到不解。既然执诺贝尔文学奖之牛耳的汉学家马悦然这...
评分听说这作品,是在南方周末的文化版上.一直欣赏南方周末的眼光 可能刚开始我并不觉得这作品有多么的好,因为毕竟我们现在所生活的环境,与小说的环境相差太远. 但渐渐的,慢慢感受到了那种贫穷,那种落后,那种悲伤,那种苍凉 试想,如果你活在那种环境中,你没有精神的愉悦方式(没有电...

评分什么东西堵在了嗓子眼,堵在了胃里,什么东西把心揪的一阵阵发疼,可是我还是坚持看完了这本书。那样的平静的甚至无法说是绝望的日子,参杂着些许寂寞的微暖,铁一样的冷的光芒,萤火虫一样的微弱。 像荒草地里寂寞的一朵小花,迅速地被车轮碾过了,苍耳却活了下来。那几个悬...
