内容简介

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.

    李翊云第一次写小说,是用英语。她是中国人,1973年生,北大生物系毕业后到美国留学。她说:英语给她表达的自由。在书虫看到她,非常欣赏。那种淳朴诚实的气质,和她自己喜欢的小说的“villageness"的风格,倒是相承。会场上,她不知说了几次抱歉不了解,不知道,所以回答不了你的问题。啊,我有多久没有见过这样的“自然”人。中国作家里她喜欢沈从文和老舍。外国则是她一再提及的爱尔兰作家William Trevor,后者小说的人物身上便有她为之着迷的villageness。04-06

    I liked Extra(school), After a Life(ending) and Death is Not a Bad Joke(quadrangle life) over the other stories. When ever Li forced non-relevant historical context in, the stories were unpalatable.06-18

    不错,就是觉得写得太用力,失乎过于精巧。02-17

    Written at a time when she knew how to write but not what to write. Anyway, a good try for someone so eager to prove herself to the public.05-08
