作者简介：

　　In the fourth grade， Kim Keltner won a cutthroat spelling bee， which encouraged her aspirations as a writer. Over the years， she honed her ear for dialogue by listening to elderly Chinese women dish dirt over endless games of mahjong. She met her husband at a Chaucer seminar when she stretched out her hand and said， "Come with me if you want to live." They now reside in San Francisco's Sunset District， where all the other Chinese people live.

Book Description

Have you ever wondered:

* Why Asians love "Hello Kitty"?

* What the tattooed Chinese characters really say?

* How to achieve feng shui for optimum make-out sessions?

* Where Asian cuties meet the white guys who love them?

Then you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll realize this book is better than a Broadway production of Cats when you read scenes that include:

* twenty-something Lindsey Owyang mastering the intricacies of office voicemail and fax dialing

* an authentic Chinese banquet where Number One Son shows off his language skills by speaking "Chinglish"

* dating disasters with grandsons of Grandma's mahjong partners

* the discovery that the real China looks nothing like the pavilion at Disney World

* karaoke

And all the while Lindsey is falling in lust with the "white devil" in her politically correct office. But will Grandma's stinky Chinese ointments send him running? Or will Lindsey realize that the path to true love lies somewhere between the dim sum and the pepperoni pizza?

From Publishers Weekly

Wong Keltner's spunky novel about a third-generation Chinese-American in San Francisco delivers a left hook to knee-jerk political correctness and offers a comic, honest take on what it feels like to be part of two cultures. Lindsey Owyang is a modern 20-something, underemployed as a receptionist at Vegan Warrior magazine (she's a "closet meat-eater"), who unexpectedly finds herself falling "in like" with Michael Cartier, the magazine's white travel editor. But dating's tough when you live at home with a traditional Chinese grandmother and even harder when that grandmother is constantly trying to set you up with the children of her mah-jongg partners. Meanwhile, Lindsay's aunt gets colored contacts (" 'Don't you think I look at least half-white anyway?' "); a white friend says that Asian girls are stealing all the cute frat boys; and creepy "Hoarders of All Things Asian" accost her on the bus. Lindsey gets a chance to connect with her roots when she finds out that she's expected to accompany her grandmother to China to visit long-lost relatives. Here Lindsey finally gains a grounded sense of her personal and cultural past, while at the same time realizing that as an ABC (American-born Chinese), "every experience, even the unpleasant ones, had helped to slowly build her character, creating a one-of-a-kind Chinese American named Lindsey Owyang." Wong Keltner is unabashedly sassy and biting in her take on race and love, and the result is both refreshing and smart.

From Booklist

After a lifetime of eating Spaghetti-Os, watching The Brady Bunch, and listening to cheezy '80s music, 25-year-old Lindsey Owyang is a thoroughly modern third-generation ABC (American-born Chinese). In an effort to save money and placate her family, Lindsey lives with her tiny, mah-jongg-gambling grandmother, Pau Pau, who dispenses fashion advice, blind dates, and "stinky tiger balm." Like most young urban professional women, Lindsey agonizes over her body (she has one malformed toe, preventing her from wearing sandals), men (she avoids guys with "Asian girl fetishes"), and work (she's one of the secret meat-eaters at Vegan Warrior magazine). When her family insists Lindsey accompany Pau Pau on a nostalgic trip to China, she develops an appreciation for her roots and discovers a family secret. Bridget Jones meets The Joy Luck Club in this multicultural twist on the single-gal-in-the-city subgenre of fiction. Believable characters in realistically outlandish situations raise this book a few notches above standard chick-lit fare.

  切入点挺特别的，企业文化造就了企业还是企业孕育了企业文化，鸡生蛋还是蛋生鸡的问题。不过通篇有个人崇拜的嫌疑。

  结构像是Sitcoms，每一篇都可以单独成一集，不那么讲究故事的紧密连贯性。内容也似Sitcoms，有的情节真的很好笑，作者很有梗，有的情节可以很严肃，有的情节很温情！

• 编纂比较有条理，要言不烦，值得一读。

  阅读这部书前，你该至少走完一遍宝钻系和魔戒系的全部故事，因为这些未完之传说或为史笔叙述，或为断简残篇，逻辑上它并不自恰，只是所有传奇的注脚。即便是相对最完整的图林的故事，也存在极大的缺口，你可以绕过这些篇幅，在《胡林的子女》中补全它。你将作为旅程的旁观者，见证图奥是如何与他的至亲在纳国斯隆德覆灭后擦肩而过。你将旁审欧洛米和乌欧牟继承者的“离婚案”，体会到托老对森林的怀旧和对大海的渴望。你将穿越回第三纪元的伟大时刻，终于明白了洛汗和刚铎联盟之谊源自多么热血的友情和誓言。当然还免不了一些中洲八卦，原来傲娇的工业先驱对夏尔多年秘密监视，只是为了满足他对烟草的痴狂。如果你补完这些传奇中的旁枝细节还未厌倦，反而兴致盎然的话，这也许会是你真正迈进中土和重新认识托尔金的第一步。传说也许未完，传奇永不落幕 。
