《不能承受的生命之轻》是米兰·昆德拉最负盛名的作品。小说描写了托马斯与特丽莎、萨丽娜之间的感情生活。但它不是一个男人和两个女人的三角性爱故事，它是一部哲理小说，小说从“永恒轮回”的讨论开始，把读者带入了对一系列问题的思考中，比如轻与重、灵与肉。
《不能承受的生命之轻》是一部意象繁复的书，其中装载了多种涵义：被政治化了的社会内涵的揭示、人性考察、个人命运在特定历史与政治语境下的呈现，以及对两性关系本质上的探索等。昆德拉将这些元素糅合在一起，写成一部非同凡响的小说——其中既有隐喻式的哲学思考，也有人的悲欢离合的生命历程的展现。

In the J.D. Salinger benchmark "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Seymour Glass floats his beach mate Sybil on a raft and tells her about these creatures' tragic flaw. Though they seem normal, if one swims into a hole filled with bananas, it will overeat until it's too fat to escape. Meanwhile, Seymour's wife, Muriel, is back at their Florida hotel, assuring her mother not to worry--Seymour hasn't lost control. Mention of a book he sent her from Germany and several references to his psychiatrist lead the reader to believe that World War II has undone him.The war hangs over these wry stories of loss and occasionally unsuppressed rage. Salinger's children are fragile, odd, hypersmart, whereas his grownups (even the materially content) seem beaten down by circumstances--some neurasthenic, others (often female) deeply unsympathetic. The greatest piece in this disturbing book may be "The Laughing Man," which starts out as a man's recollection of the pleasures of storytelling and ends with the intersection between adult need and childish innocence. The narrator remembers how, at nine, he and his fellow Comanches would be picked up each afternoon by the Chief--a Staten Island law student paid to keep them busy. At the end of each day, the Chief winds them down with the saga of a hideously deformed, gentle, world-class criminal. With his stalwart companions, which include "a glib timber wolf" and "a lovable dwarf," the Laughing Man regularly crosses the Paris-China border in order to avoid capture by "the internationally famous detective" Marcel Dufarge and his daughter, "an exquisite girl, though something of a transvestite." The masked hero's luck comes to an end on the same day that things go awry between the Chief and his girlfriend, hardly a coincidence. "A few minutes later, when I stepped out of the Chief's bus, the first thing I chanced to see was a piece of red tissue paper flapping in the wind against the base of a lamppost. It looked like someone's poppy-petal mask. I arrived home with my teeth chattering uncontrollably and was told to go straight to bed."

《无目的美好生活》是洪晃继《我的非正常生活》之后的另一本散文作品。她在书中宣扬了一种“生活的乐趣都在过程里面，而目的只是在长长的过程之后一秒种的高潮”的想法。该书虽然不是一本教你如何才能过上美好日子的生活指南，因为美好的生活有千万种形式，而达至美好生活的路径也有万千条，但是它却是一本读着乐，写着也乐的书。

《太阳照在桑乾河上》是丁玲深入农村斗争生活后写的反映土改运动的优秀长篇小说。由于思想上和艺术上的成就，曾荣获1951年度斯大林文学奖金二等奖。小说艺术地再现了农村反封建土地制度的伟大斗争，围绕着工作组领导群众揭露和斗争恶霸地主钱文贵的过程，突出了土改中一个关键性的问题：只有把最隐蔽的，也是最狡猾、凶狠的恶霸地主斗倒，土改才可能取得真正的胜利。

Winner of the National Book Award The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--"Everything That Rises Must Converge "and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." O'Connor published her first story, "The Geranium," in 1946, while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, "Judgement Day"--sent to her publisher shortly before her death--is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of "The Geranium." Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux.

在《時時刻刻》中，作者麥可·康寧漢，極具創意地以維吉尼亞·吳爾芙的生平與作品為背景，描述一群在愛與傳承、期望與絕望的衝突中掙扎的當代人物的故事。這本小說以回溯吳爾芙在一九四一年自殺的最後的日子開場，隨後發展至兩個現代美國婦女的故事，她們罔顧自己朋友、愛人、及家人的要求，試圖爭取自己的天空。
克勞麗莎是個住在紐約格林威治村的出版社編輯；我們見到她時，她正要為她朋友理察舉辦宴會而出門買花；理察是個纏綿病榻的詩人，剛榮獲一項重要的文學獎。蘿拉·布朗是二次大戰後住在加州的家庭主婦，她撫養她的獨子並在她窒悶的婚姻之外尋求生活的真諦。康寧漢藉著罕見的輕鬆與自信的筆觸，使這兩個女人的生活與維吉尼亞·吳爾芙的生活以一種出人意表並令心碎的方式，在替理察舉辦宴會期間融為一體。隨著小說在二十世紀各年代間跳躍，每一行都與康寧漢清晰、鏗鏘有力、熱情奔放的當代之聲起共鳴。作品熱情洋溢、寓意深遠，感人肺腑。

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.
