Daisy, the New Yorker, Jan 12, 2004
用英语写作的亚洲作家在美国崭露头角，有来自韩国的Chang-Rae Lee和来自中 国的哈金。但Chang-Rae Lee是2岁时就移民到了美国，而哈金要到大学毕业后。 在他们的作品里，是他们的人民。
Daisy这个故事描述了‘我’的韩裔妻子Daisy的精神崩溃和死亡。在家带孩子的 Daisy显露出精神恍惚的症状，不理家政，疯狂购物。我接受父亲的计划，使用 冷淡、压迫、加上奖励的驯妻法。可惜，寻花问柳的父亲用得得心应手的方法并 没有在我手上奏效，Daisy精神崩溃，服药过量而死亡。
Daisy让人想到Gilman的著名短篇小说《黄色壁纸》（The Yellow Wall Paper/Gilman）。 Daisy是以丈夫的口吻记叙的，而《黄色壁纸》是以妻子的口吻。在《黄色壁纸》 里头，妻子被禁锢在阁楼里，被剥夺了写作的权利，终于她和壁纸里的女人融为 一体，在壁纸上爬行。无疑，《黄色壁纸》要比Daisy更深刻。在那里，女性所 受到的压迫是透过象征来表达的，即便我们把它统称作父权的压迫，它也可以有 更抽象的诠释，比如整套语言系统。而父权在Daisy里面由我和我父亲代表。
Chang-Rae Lee was born in Seoul, Korea, and emigrated to the United States when he was two. Lee is the author of the novel Native Speaker (Riverhead Books, 1995), which received the PEN/Hemingway Award, the American Book Award, the Barnes and Noble Discover Award, the QPB New Voices Award, and the Oregon Book Award.
