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.
“Immortality,” winner of The Paris Review’s Plimpton Prize for new writers, tells the story of a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a dictator and so finds a calling to immortality. In “The Princess of Nebraska,” a man and a woman who were both in love with a young actor in China meet again in America and try to reconcile the lost love with their new lives.
“After a Life” illuminates the vagaries of marriage, parenthood, and gender, unfolding the story of a couple who keep a daughter hidden from the world. And in “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,” in which a man visits America for the first time to see his recently divorced daughter, only to discover that all is not as it seems, Li boldly explores the effects of communism on language, faith, and an entire people, underlining transformation in its many meanings and incarnations.
These and other daring stories form a mesmerizing tapestry of revelatory fiction by an unforgettable writer.
不解的是她在迎合还是纯粹自我分裂
评分前两个短篇就是开胃菜,后面每一个短篇都是致郁的神伤。看完接下来后的每一个短篇都郁结得想去操场跑圈。所有给li Yiyun的千年祈愿打三星的中国读者一定被深深地伤害了中国人的感情。作者算是个温柔的人,处处手下留情了

评分房东邦尼让我看的一本书。读了两个故事:After life和 A thousand years of prayers。故事相对比较平淡。
最开始接触李翊云并不是因为这本书,而是她的那本回忆录《Dear Friend, From My Life I Write Into Your Life》。那本书我读起来觉得像是另一个我在表达,heart-breaking, bleak, stiff, holding back but emotional underneath. 更多的关于那本书的评价我打算看完以后再写。总...
评分也是前不久才知道这个人。居然是在时尚杂志Elle上看到的,颇为有趣。后来在M dong家的期末饭局上提起用英语写作的born-in-mainland,我们说起除了哈金,就是这个Yiyun Li. 我看书有个毛病,就是先会去网上做所谓的homework。查查这个人的背景,搜搜书评什么的,否则不敢贸然浪...
评分There is a perception that the intension of some Asian-American writers' writing is to satisfy the western readers' curiosity towards China. Therefore, the common theme of this kind of works is to show the "dark" said of China, for example, the untolerant p...

评分There're so many reviews on Amazon.com which discuss the political aspects of the novel. But what I see the most is the author's attitudes to society, humanity and most essentially, love and marriage hidden behind her subtle and elegant lines. If you have r...
