A brilliant writer imagines a fictional conversation between a mother and the teenage son she lost to suicide. Yiyun Li confronts grief and transforms it into art, in a book of surprising beauty and love.
The narrator writes, "I had but one delusion, which I held onto with all my willpower: we once gave Nikolai a life of flesh and blood; and I'm doing it over again, this time by words."
Written in the months after the author lost a child to suicide and composed as a story cycle, this conversation between mother and child unfolds in a timeless world. Deeply intimate, poignant, and moving, these conversations portray the love and complexity in a relationship across generations, even as they capture the pain of sadness, longing, and loss.
In writing this book, Yiyun Li was inspired by a line from Proust's Remembrance of Things Past "Ideas come to us as the successors to griefs, and griefs, at the moment when they change into ideas, lose some part of their power to injure the heart; the transformation itself, even, for an instant, releases suddenly a little joy."
Meeting life's deepest sorrow with originality, precision and poise, Where Reasons End is suffused with intimacy, inescapable pain, and fierce love.
Yiyun Li grew up in Beijing, China and moved to the United States in 1996. She received an MFA from Iowa Writers' Workshop and an MFA in creative nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa.

太悲傷瞭,悲傷的濃度如此之高,以至於感受到瞭一種稀薄。感覺有些人是生下來就背負成為藝術傢的使命,所以老天賜予Ta種種不幸。隻有藝術傢纔能把這不幸變成人類存活過的證明。

評分用非母語寫作的人能很容易體會這種和語詞纏鬥、肉搏的感覺。理解語言,不僅是理解它的含義、背後的邏輯和思維方式,更是它承載的生命體驗。兒子之死將母親拋擲到一種獨特的存在狀態中,全書沒有“故事”,隻有想象中的母子對話。母親迴憶兒子的感傷不斷被兒子的反駁消解,並迅速展開詭辯般對語言的糾纏,小說進入瞭對文學和語言本身的反思。我們能否避免隱喻和陳詞濫調?形容詞、名詞、副詞對我們的生活世界意味著什麼?當然,也少不瞭海外移民女性的諸多體驗,一代和二代移民之間的關係等等……

This is an unconventional book about lost and grief. A imaginative conversation between a mother and her teenage son who took his own life. Nicolai is dead yet it seems so real to me that he's there. Yiyun's writing connects them together without any cliche...
