Bewitching Love

Bewitching Love (Taipei: Locus Publishing House, 2005)
《花間迷情》(台北:大塊出版,2005)

This story is not only about lesbians, but also about women, about women’s love. Women’s sexuality occurs along a spectrum--a spectrum that includes heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality, and queer-identification. Four different women are searching for sex and love; exploring their bodies and identities on their own with or without the presence of men. There is an entanglement of love and sexual desire, disillusion and hope…
The famous writer Li Ang has revealed a female world to us here. As a female storyteller, she always stays sharp and lucid. This is not only a trick to fascinate her audience but also a secret for her and the entire race of woman to survive in the eternal dark nights. 

--Translated from 大塊Online by Min-min Liang


這個故事不只是關於女同志,而且是關於女人,關於女人之愛。在女性光譜中不同的女人,這光譜可以涵蓋從異性戀、雙性戀、同性戀到酷兒,這女性光譜中四個不同的女人,當男人在場∕不在場時,對自身的性、愛、身體與自我的追尋,交纏的愛與慾、幻滅與希望…… 
這是知名女作家李昂展現的女性世界。身為一個說故事的女子,她始終保持著清醒,這不只是迷惑住聽眾的秘訣,還是在亙古的黑夜裡讓自己以及一整個女性族群生存的秘密。
