Си, Лиза цитаты

Лиза Си — американская писательница-историк, биограф, публицист и общественный деятель.

Её прадед с отцовской стороны был китайцем, что в значительной степени определило её судьбу.

В 2010 г. роман Лизы Си «Девушки из Шанхая» вошел в список бестселлеров газеты New York Times. Романы «Девушки из Шанхая» и «Снежный цветок и заветный веер» были отмечены в почетном списке книг Азиатско-Тихоокеанской американской премии по литературе.

Романы Лизы Си «Цветочная сеть», «Интерьер» и «Кости дракона» входят в детективную серию «Красная принцесса». Романы «Снежный цветок и заветный веер» и «Влюбленная Пион» рассказывают о китайских женщинах в XIX и XVII веках соответственно. Романы «Девушки из Шанхая» и «Сны Джой» посвящены двум сестрам-китаянкам, которые эмигрировали в США и столкнулись с антикоммунистической истерией, царившей в Америке в 1950-х годах Роман «Китайские куколки» — это рассказ о жизни артистов, выступавших в китайских ночных клубах в США в 1930-40 годы. Роман «Чайная девочка с Хаммингберд-лейн» — о китайских матери и дочери из маленького народа акха, разлученных из-за строгих традиций, где их история переплетается с историей популяризации чая пуэр в 1990х-2000х годах.

Первые романы Лизы Си были написаны в соавторстве с матерью, Каролин Си, и Джоном Эспи под псевдонимом «Моника Хайлэнд». В данную серию вошли три книги: «Земля лотоса» , «Шанхайская дорога, 110» и «Привет из Южной Калифорнии» . Лиза Си также написала рассказ «Поминальный обед» для «Half and Half».
