The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie. Like Jen, Liz is a plucky blond American woman in her thirties with no children and no major money worries. As the book opens, she is going through a really bad divorce and subsequent stormy rebound love affair. Awash in tears in the middle of the night on the floor of the bathroom, she begins to pray for guidance, “you know —— like, to God.” God answers. He tells her to go back to bed.

Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband.

小说以主人公夏冲从4岁到31岁的经历、见闻为主要线索，时间跨度为1976年至2008年。 夏冲是一个对悲剧非常敏感的人，发现周围生活中到处是被忽略的悲剧，他的父母、少年时代的朋友等人都在各种悲剧之中，与传统悲剧不同的是，这些悲剧往往被看作是理所当然，不足为奇。小说叙述的半个爱情故事则是悲剧中的一抹暖色，女主人公戚敏与夏冲同样年轻、聪明，但更平静，也懂得安之若素。夏冲经历了三次“寂静”时期，他不清楚为什么生活如此平淡又令人激动，无论时代如何变化，这国家这生活都像一条龙，庞大、强力、野心勃勃，而主人公则像一只蝉，疏离、弱小、难以平静。当他到了成熟的年纪，成了一名律师，却仍受制于往日记忆，不得自由。2008年北京奥运会之前，中国已经成了一个崭新的国家，生活完全变了。这时夏冲回首往事，就像蝉发出了一
