摘要

Celeste Ng is a contemporary Chinese-American female writer.Her novel Everything I Never Told You won the first place in Amazon.com’s No.1 Best Book of 2014.Her gentle and delicate style of writing,precise and restrained diction and serious themes aroused strong repercussions.This paper is proposed to analyze the deconstruction tendencies of the novel from the perspective of deconstruction,showing absurdities and harm of monism incisively and vividly through the analysis of the following three parts of binary oppositions in the novel:males and females,strong cultures and weak cultures,parents and children,which illustrate the reconstruction rather than destruction and provide the possibility of rebuilding the identity and culture of the Asian-American.
