Book Synopsis A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by : Xiaolu Guo
Download or read book A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers written by Xiaolu Guo and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important contemporary Chinese authors: a novel of language and love that tells one young Chinese woman's story of her journey to the West—and her attempts to understand the language, and the man, she adores. Zhuang—or “Z,” to tongue-tied foreigners—has come to London to study English, but finds herself adrift, trapped in a cycle of cultural gaffes and grammatical mishaps. Then she meets an Englishman who changes everything, leading her into a world of self-discovery. She soon realizes that, in the West, “love” does not always mean the same as in China, and that you can learn all the words in the English language and still not understand your lover. And as the novel progresses with steadily improving grammar and vocabulary, Z's evolving voice makes her quest for comprehension all the more poignant. With sparkling wit, Xiaolu Guo has created an utterly original novel about identity and the cultural divide.
