收录了残雪的《思想汇报》、《辉煌的日子》与《痕》三篇小说。中国女人写的这些奇妙的使人困惑的小说，跟同时代的中国文学的现实主义几乎都没有关系。实际上，它们令人想起的是，艾略特的寓言、卡夫卡的妄想、噩梦似的马蒂斯的绘画。——Charlotte Innes（美国《纽约时报》1989年9月24日）（It is a collection of Can Xue's three novels, "A Thought Report", "The Days of Glory" and "Trace". These marvelous and bewildering novels by a Chinese woman have almost nothing in common with the Realism of her contemporary Chinese literature. In fact, they remind Westerners of T.S.Eliot's metaphors, Franz Kafka's fantasies, and the nightmare-like paintings by Matisse. Charlotte Innes (New York Times, September 24, 1989)）
