"The New Yorker" is a series of novels that Mr. Pai Hsien-yung started writing in the 1960s. It is a collection of short stories that brings together the author's early masterpieces and new works in his later years. It is composed of six novels, of which "The Exiled Immortal" and "The Complaint of the Exiled Immortal" were written in the 1960s, "Nocturne" and "Ashes" were published in the 1970s and 1980s, and "Danny Boy" and "Tea for Two" were written in his later years. "The Exiled Immortal" takes the tragic story of the heroine drifting to Venice and drowning herself as the first article in the "New Yorker" series of this book, and quotes Chen Zi'ang's "Song of Climbing the Youzhou Tower" as the postscript. Perhaps the author feels that Li Tong's final feeling of loneliness is as profound as "the vastness of the world".
《纽约客》是白先勇先生在二十世纪六十年代就已着手创作的小说系列，是集结了作者早年名作、晚年新篇“合璧之作”的一部短篇小说集。由六篇小说集结而成，其中《谪仙记》和《谪仙怨》写于二十世纪六十年代，《夜曲》和《骨灰》发表在二十世纪七八十年代，《DannyBoy》和《TeaforTwo》则是晚年创作的作品。《谪仙记》以女主角飘流到威尼斯投水自尽的悲怆故事作为本书“纽约客”系列的首篇，并引了陈子昂《登幽州台歌》作为题跋，大概是作者觉得李彤最后的孤绝之感，有“天地之悠悠”那样深远吧。
