In this remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance, Li turns to thinking and searching for words that might hold a place for her son, James. Li does ‘the things that work’: including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death. Things in Nature Merely Grow is a testament to Li’s indomitable spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Book of Goose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised – the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now, Agnès is free to tell her story.\u003cbr\u003eAs children in a backwater town, they’d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves – until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Thousand Years of Good Prayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this extraordinary first collection, Yiyun Li brings us a modern China facing up to a complex history of repression and guilt. In 'Immortality', winner of the Paris Review prize, a young man bears a striking resemblance to the dictator, and so finds a strange kind of calling. In 'Extra', first published in the New Yorker, a Chinese woman, alone in middle age, befriends a young boy who has become an outcast in a remote country school. In their friendship, we see how love can begin to overcome the strictures that dominate their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYiyun Li (born November 4, 1972) is a celebrated Chinese-born American author and professor known for her fiction exploring, often with emotional detachment, the complexities of human relationships, memory, and loss.
