小說中文簡介如下:
杜杜的這部小說集包括三個中長篇小說,《不吃土豆的日子》《水晶珠子》《尋找如弟》。《不吃土豆的日子》以輕魔幻手法,描寫任天意和孟喬南、小米和斯蒂文兩對夫妻的故事。任天意不經意間造成同事小米流產後,生理、心理和生活都發生巨大改變。小說通過故事的發生發展觸及了人生中的偶然巧合、人性的迷惘無助、世界的無法預知等多個空間。孟喬南這個被寵慣的嬌妻在整個故事中逐漸成長為一個成熟的家庭主婦。土豆是一條隱線,孟喬南從愛吃土豆到不吃土豆到最後又吃土豆,使人生的某種神秘意義在小小的土豆身上得以發泄。任天意神秘地死去,卻使孟喬南陷入了一個新的陷阱... ...這不是一個輕鬆的小說。《水晶珠子》描寫一對移民母女的生活和衝突,其中涉及文化衝突、東西方理念衝突、老人與子女的代溝、人類心理多側麵的不平衡表現和矛盾性都得到反映。人性的複雜使得人間之愛變得複雜和艱澀,世界上存在沒有矛盾的愛嗎?這是一個無解的命題,即便是母女之間。 《尋找如弟》描寫一位移民女子回國探親時試圖尋找一位兒時女友的故事,小說中回憶與現實穿插往梭,故鄉和同學朋友的巨大變化給海外移民者帶來了情感、價值觀等諸多方麵的震撼和影響。
