| Abstract | In her first Novel Everything I Never Told You, selected as the Amazon’s NO.1 Best Book of 2014, Celeste Ng, a Chinese American woman writer of 80’s, explores a theme which distinguishes it from the rest Chinese American novels. It is about a tragedy that happened in a mixed race family, the family of a Chinese American college professor and his stay-at-home white wife in a small Ohio town in the 1970s. Taking an advantage of her bicultural identity “Chinese American— American” , Celeste Ng describes the culture clash that Chinese Americans confront in a space of cultural hybridity and reproduces a live picture, in which“the Other” are trapped in a bicultural dilemma, in this literary work. Keywords—Celeste Ng; Everything I Never Told You; the Other; Chinese American literature; the space of cultural hybridity |
