Shifting between the everyday and the surreal, A City Inside recounts one woman’s life from childhood home, to the first love that she will never forget, to the creation of the idea of herself that she can grow old with and the home that she can grow old in. Walden’s follow up to the lyrical I Love This Part is a poetic exploration of the process of growing older; the journey t...(展开全部)

贾平凹的《废都》的简介（来自“搜搜问问”） 该作40余万字，载《十月》1993年第4期。小说以历史文化悠久的古都西安当代生活为背景，记叙“闲散文人”作家庄之蝶、书法家龚靖元、画家汪希眠及艺术家阮知非“四大名人”的起居生活，展现了浓缩的西京城形形色色“废都”景观。 小说核心人物庄之蝶，在他身上可能影印了作者的痕迹。他集合了现代都市生活赋予一个名人复杂多面的特征：不喜拘束、洒脱行意、豪饮畅谈、学识渊博，颇具“魏晋风度”。然而，透过这些表象，古城墙夜里的埙声，实则契合了他内心深处最孤独的痛苦。 40万字篇幅中，作者以庄之蝶与几位女性情感的纠葛为主线，以阮知非等诸名士穿插叙述为辅线，笔墨浓淡相宜，时有“笑口常开”一类时政幽默小景展现，活跃了气氛，激活了读者思路，令人叫绝。 贾平凹不愧为写女性系列的大手笔，在诸多女性中，唐宛儿、柳月、牛月清为他塑造最为成功也最...(展开全部)
