  • 蔣亞妮/國王的耳朵是驢耳朵,但整個王國的人都不能說──短篇小說《強國》

    文/蔣亞妮2023年05月12日

    童年裡,我曾有過一個印象,某位家族長輩講起他跟著旅行團初訪紐約的收獲,他聽著耳機導覽一路來到帝國大廈觀景台上,耳機裡是捲舌音濃濃的電子女聲,正巧說到一句話:「新移民來到美國,實現他們的美國夢。」美、國、夢,三字間略略停頓,親戚長輩的轉述之聲,像是他也心懷美國夢。那樣的夢無邊也無 more

內容簡介

A Best Book of the Year: Barack Obama - NPR - The Washington Post - The Philadelphia Inquirer - Esquire - Kirkus Reviews - Chicago Public Library - Electric Literature

Malala Yousafzai’s Fearless Book Club Pick for Literati

"Dazzling...Riveting." --New York Times Book Review

"Gripping and illuminating . . . At the heart of Te-Ping Chen’s remarkable debut lies a question all too relevant in 21st Century America: What is freedom?" --Jennifer Egan

"Immensely rewarding, from the first sentence to the last . . . An exceptional collection." --Charles Yu

A "stirring and brilliant" debut story collection, offering vivid portrayals of the men and women of modern China and its diaspora, "both love letter and sharp social criticism," from a phenomenal new literary talent bringing great "insight from her years as a reporter with the Wall Street Journal" (Elle).

Gripping and compassionate, Land of Big Numbers traces the journeys of the diverse and legion Chinese people, their history, their government, and how all of that has tumbled--messily, violently, but still beautifully--into the present.

Cutting between clear-eyed realism and tongue-in-cheek magical realism, Chen’s stories coalesce into a portrait of a people striving for openings where mobility is limited. Twins take radically different paths: one becomes a professional gamer, the other a political activist. A woman moves to the city to work at a government call center and is followed by her violent ex-boyfriend. A man is swept into the high-risk, high-reward temptations of China’s volatile stock exchange. And a group of people sit, trapped for no reason, on a subway platform for months, waiting for official permission to leave.

With acute social insight, Te-Ping Chen layers years of experience reporting on the ground in China with incantatory prose in this taut, surprising debut, proving herself both a remarkable cultural critic and an astonishingly accomplished new literary voice.
