Features: Although Speak, Room can still be read as a work of women's literature, in terms of the depth of its expression, it far exceeds this category. When Lin Bai depicts the changing life of the contemporary era, she transcends gender concerns, offering us richer social life content. Lin Bai writes about sex that is morally acceptable but not human, and also about sex that is human but not morally acceptable. However, she does not flaunt privacy or exaggerate pathology. Reading her passages, you will feel that every organ is in its rightful place, and every desire arises at the right moment. This is a novel about contemporary professional women, portraying the pressures they endure during social transformation, their innovations and hidden pains, anxieties and cries, memories and confessions. It can be seen as a sister piece to Lin Bai's breakthrough work A One-Person War.
The Beijing reporter Duoduo is laid off from her newspaper company and, in order to survive, leaves Beijing to find work in Changsha, where she lives with her girlfriend Nan Hong. Nan Hong, deeply hurt from her ventures, constantly tells Duoduo about her experiences in Shenzhen, while Duoduo, in the process of listening, recalls her highly disharmonious married life. Duoduo fails to find a job in Shenzhen and returns to Beijing, while Nan Hong dies in an accident. The entire novel begins with a highly detailed narrative of physical sensations and reaches the deepest parts of contemporary women's souls.
