Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢天津方言与市井幽默的读者
- 想在碎片时间里读点轻松随笔的上班族
- 偏爱段子式短文、反感鸡汤说教的读者
- 想了解2010年前后中国城市生活切面的读者
Not a good fit for
- 期望读到系统论述或深度社会分析的读者
- 希望看到完整情节与人物塑造的小说读者
- 对口语化、调侃式文字风格不感兴趣的读者
Reading tips
- 不必按顺序读，可先随手翻“咱们”“碎语”两辑找语感，再进入“时评”。
- 每篇很短，适合放在包里当通勤读物，一次读三五篇即可。
- 遇到天津方言词不妨停下来查一查，津味是这本书的一半趣味。
- 可把它当作文风样本，留意作者如何把日常琐事压缩成一句包袱。

About the author
Wang Xiaorou is represented in this Chinese book database by two works, commonly classified under literature and under essays and miscellaneous writings, with the representative title Leyi. Public information about her nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal experience is limited, and nothing in these respects can be confirmed, so this introduction focuses on her writing as recorded in the database. Judging from the available categories and titles, her work belongs to the essay and miscellaneous writing tradition: the subjects are close to everyday life, and the style is light and conversational, drawing interest and feeling from ordinary people and events in a way that reads as warm and natural. Because only a small number of her works are held here, the full range of her writing cannot yet be presented in detail, but books such as Leyi already show her attention to the details of daily life and her gift for an easy, relaxed tone, giving readers a basic sense of this author's direction.
