WEIKE WANG is a graduate of Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and her doctorate in public health. She received her MFA from Boston University. Her fiction has been published in or is forthcoming from Alaska Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train, The Journal, Ploughshares, Redivider, and SmokeLong Quarterly.
Three years into her graduate studies at a demanding Boston university, the unnamed narrator of this nimbly wry, concise debut finds her one-time love for chemistry is more hypothesis than reality. She's tormented by her failed research--and reminded of her delays by her peers, her advisor, and most of all by her Chinese parents, who have always expected nothing short of excellence from her throughout her life. But there's another, nonscientific question looming: the marriage proposal from her devoted boyfriend, a fellow scientist, whose path through academia has been relatively free of obstacles, and with whom she can't make a life before finding success on her own. Eventually, the pressure mounts so high that she must leave everything she thought she knew about her future, and herself, behind. And for the first time, she's confronted with a question she won't find the answer to in a textbook: What do I really want? Over the next two years, this winningly flawed, disarmingly insightful heroine learns the formulas and equations for a different kind of chemistry--one in which the reactions can't be quantified, measured, and analyzed; one that can be studied only in the mysterious language of the heart. Taking us deep inside her scattered, searching mind, here is a brilliant new literary voice that astutely juxtaposes the elegance of science, the anxieties of finding a place in the world, and the sacrifices made for love and family.

评分 评分文 / 董小琳 1 人生充满了错觉。 比如说,新年是从1月1日开始的。 结果,一转眼,2019年的六分之一已经过去了。 经历了新年钟声下的“信誓旦旦”,春节回家亲朋好友的“嘘寒问暖”,没有情人的“情人劫”,以及过了就再没有借口“打年盹”的元宵佳节。回头再看1月1日自己写下的...
评分每个国家都是一个独立的个体,它们都有着各不相同的生活方式及对待任何事物的态度;关乎后代的教育方式也是大不相同,古斯塔夫勒庞在他所著的《乌合之众》一书中说——一个国家为其年轻人所提供的教育,可以让我们看到这个国家未来的样子。 说到这个,就不由自主的陷入了深思。...
评分或许是最近看了几本外国作品的缘故,一看到《中国女孩》这个书名感觉特别亲切,这本书里到底写了什么呢?有种强烈的欲望想知道这本书的内容,瞬间对这本书产生的阅读的兴趣。 每个人都有属于自己的故事,生命历程中的喜怒哀乐点缀着流逝的岁月风景。独特的成长与思考是一本富有...
Always so fascinated by the interaction between science and art. Sometimes one would think maybe it’s enough to spend the days with a dog, smart or not.
评分要对看心理医生的女主产生共鸣当然容易:博士生涯萌生退意、和第一代移民的严父慈母太多隔阂、无法感知表达爱意最终逼走男友。亚裔文学中的affectlessness恰好是连接作品和读者的affective trope。
评分Too casual as a novel about Chinese American identity. Too boring as a love story. Too pretentious as a chemist. SY 8/7
评分聪明 刻薄 懦弱 敏感 犹豫 不是一本控诉的书 栖身在学术共同体下 作为标签的身份“华裔”“女性”都是无趣无用的 不愿放低标准 却也没有明确的选择 我们首先面对的 还是作为一个人的挣扎
评分Weike Wang和李翊云都是化学/生物博士转行写小说
