博文

我写的第一本英文书"TheStoryofRice";已出版一年多了。最近获得一个图书比赛自然类的金奖,并接受了一个采访。写此书的目的是想讲述一下稻米的科学,历史,和文化,包括各国的饮食文化,得到此奖是意外收获。虽然不是什么大奖,但能得到认可,感到很欣慰。另外,英文不是我的母语,完成此书不太容易,花了很长时间,总算坚持下来了。下一步我想把此书翻成中文[阅读全文]

我写了N年的书终于出版了,花了很多时间和j精力。感觉像爬了一座山,很辛苦,但途中偶遇了很多美景,收获很多。这是个最好的学习过程。 这本书是关于水稻的--水稻的历史,文化,和食用。吃了一辈子的米饭,又是学植物的,对水稻情有独钟。感谢所有种水稻的农民和水稻研究工作者。特别是我敬仰的袁隆平。此书献给他们。 谢谢各位看帖!新周愉快! [阅读全文]

在美国的华裔作家不少。著名的有 AmyTan,LisaSee等。但她们都出生在美国,英语是母语,就暂且不谈她们了。老的也不想谈了。只想谈谈和我们背景相同,二三十岁出国留学,现在四五十岁左右的作家。我最熟悉,读得最多的作家有三个:哈金,李翊云,和闽安琪。哈金的书看过四本 “AFreeLife",“Waiting","WarTrash",“TheBridegroom(短篇小说集)。很喜欢他的"Waiting",讲了那个年代[阅读全文]
