李翊雲 (Yiyun Li) 的短篇小說集 《星期三的孩子》(Wednesday's Child) 入圍了 2024 年普立茲虛構小說獎，展現了她處理生命傷痕時那種冷靜卻又極致優美的文學功底。 這部令人驚嘆的新短篇小說集橫跨十年創作，涵蓋了喪失、疏離、衰老與當代生活的怪誕——出自《鵝之書》獲獎作者李翊雲之手。 一位哀傷的母親為她失去的每個人製作了一份試算表。一位教授與她的美髮師發展出了一種困擾的親密關係。而每年，一名焦躁不安的女子都會收到一封來自幾州之隔、年齡比她大一倍的陌生男子的電子郵件。在李翊雲的故事中，人們努力追求平凡的存在，直到這種努力變得難以維繫，直到表面破裂，而巨大的神祕力量——死亡、暴力、疏離——顯露出來。即使是日常生活也充滿了意義，點綴著抹不去的細節：一罐偷來的蜂蜜、一堆受傷的螞蟻、一張隱藏多年的照片，直到它必須被看見的那一刻。 李翊雲是一位具有驚人原創性的作家，一位對立面的煉金術士：溫柔卻不感傷，形而上卻又直白，幽默卻又駭人，無所不知卻又敏銳地意識到我們所能知道的是多麼有限。她因長篇小說和回憶錄而深受喜愛，如今她回歸早期的創作形式，彙集了多篇短篇小說以及一部從未在英國出版過的傑出中篇小說。綜合來看，《星期三的孩子》以李翊雲標誌性的、令人不安的美感與灼人的智慧，闡述了生存的真正代價。 Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2024 'Any book by Yiyun Li is a cause for celebration' SIGRID NUNEZ 'One of our finest living authors' NEW YORK TIMES 'Bruising, beautiful' GUARDIAN A dazzling new collection of short stories written over a decade, spanning loss, alienation, ageing and the strangeness of contemporary life – from Yiyun Li, the prize-winning author of The Book of Goose A grieving mother makes a spreadsheet of everyone she’s lost. A professor develops a troubled intimacy with her hairdresser. And every year, a restless woman receives an email from a strange man twice her age and several states away. In Yiyun Li’s stories, people strive for an ordinary existence until doing so becomes unsustainable, until the surface cracks and grand mysterious forces – death, violence, estrangement – come to light. And even everyday life is laden with meaning, studded with indelible details: a filched jar of honey, a mound of wounded ants, a photograph kept hidden for many years, until it must be seen. Li is a breathtakingly original writer, an alchemist of opposites: tender and unsentimental, metaphysical and blunt, funny and horrifying, omniscient and yet acutely aware of just how much we cannot know. Beloved for her novels and memoirs, she returns here to her earliest form, gathering short stories and a remarkable novella never before published in the UK. Taken together, the stories in Wednesday's Child articulate the true cost of living with all Li’s trademark unnerving beauty and searing wisdom. ‘Quiet, subtle and often agonisingly wrenching … Li explores the brittle fractures within the human heart … A shimmering meditation’ FINANCIAL TIMES ‘Strands of melancholy are braided through Li’s tender, thoughtful stories’ DAILY MAIL ‘Against the backdrop of threat, Li’s characters meditate coolly on meaning and mortality’ OBSERVER
