New Release 新书

Milati 米拉蒂

二十岁的米拉蒂从部队文工团转业,从一个被动的表演艺术舞者,转为一个独立思考创作的年轻作家。那是八十年代初,人们的观念和行为模式似乎一夜间发生了颠覆性的改变:爱情、性、自由、民主……  一切不可能的变成了可能,并且可能性似乎向无限延展。故事围绕米拉蒂的个人经历,见证了中国两代艺术家、作家、知识分子在八十年代的觉醒和幻灭。

At the age of twenty, Milati changes careers from a passive performing arts dancer to a young writer who thinks and creates independently. It is the early eighties in China, when people's perceptions and patterns of behavior seemed to change overnight in a subversive way: love, sex, freedom, democracy ...... everything impossible became possible, and the possibilities seemed endless. The story revolves around Milati’s and her father’s personal experience and bears witness to the awakening and disillusionment of two generations of Chinese artists, writers, and intellectuals in the 1980s.

Praise & Reviews
评论

Each of Yan Geling’s novels is a poignant epic of humanity. Her deep feeling for the changes in contemporary China, her tremendous creative energy, her subtle yet magnificent literary strokes, present us with a unique literary phenomenon. If you read Yan Geling, you will understand contemporary China.

Poet

米拉蒂存在的真正意义,是链接了那个时代所有可能发生的故事,曾经的中国往事看似荒诞得奇奇古怪,却真实得如同超现实主义的油画让人惊心动魄。作者给米拉赋予了巨大的能量,因为她要撑起那段历史,撑起每个人与历史的关系。
