Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable new writer whose breathtaking stories are set in China and among Chinese Americans in the United States. In this rich, astonishing collection, Yiyun Li illuminates how mythology, politics, history, and culture intersect with personality to create fate. From the bustling heart of Beijing, to a fast-food restaurant in Chicago, to the barren expanse of Inner Mongolia, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers reveals worlds both foreign and familiar, with heartbreaking honesty and in beautiful prose. "Immortality," winner of The Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for new writers, tells the story of a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a dictator and so finds a calling to immortality. In "The Princess of Nebraska," a man and a woman who were both in love with a young actor in China meet again in America and try to reconcile the lost love with their new lives. "After a Life" illuminates the vagaries of marriage, parenthood, and gender, unfolding the story of a couple who keep a daughter hidden from the world. And in "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," in which a man visits America for the first time to see his recently divorced daughter, only to discover that all is not as it seems, Li boldly explores the effects of communism on language, faith, and an entire people, underlining transformation in its many meanings and incarnations. These and other daring stories form a mesmerizing tapestry of revelatory fiction by an unforgettable writer.Binding Type: Paperback

Stylish, packable warmth layer I'm using for travel the fits and looks great!
Size: Large, Color: Gray, Size: Large, Color: Gray
I like the COOFANDY brand a lot for good looking clothes, that fit me correctly (Large size, for me 180lbs 6'0", athletic build), all at a reasonable price.
This Jacket fits me great and looks great, and it's stylish enough that I'll feel comfortable going to museums and restaraunts, etc while we're away in Europe this fall. I bought the gray which looked correct vs images on the web, and a good color in my opinion. My pictures were done in different lighting because of needing to be in front of the mirror, but color is accurate on web. I like having the hood, which will be good for outdoor travel / walking in sometimes rainy weather, and hood looks good down (not too bulky). Zippers seem good quality, and I like zippered pockets, plus there's internal pockets (not zippered) if you desire, and an included stash back for compact packing into my day pack. Sleeve cuffs and right size and nice. Note, that there is no bottom waistline drawstring adjustment, but I don't need such because it fits me great and I wanted something more city and less outdoorsy. Really like this jacket for my need, outer layer for city type travel while staying warm and looking good.
