Dark Night (Taipei: China Times Publishing Co., 1985)
《暗夜》（台北：時報出版，1985）
Born in 1952, Li Ang made her debut in Taiwanese literary circle by her first article Floral Season when she was in the first year of senior high. Li Ang has been considered as a controversial writer, since the theme of her novels is mostly about love and sex of modern people, and she pays attention to sexual psychological problems and moral issues the youths encounter when society changes. Undisguised description of sex and related moral issues are brought into her novels, and therefore critics give her bipolar evaluation. However, Li Ang defies others' judgments and keeps writing in a female point of view, and she holds her place in Taiwanese literary circle. Li Ang once said her work Dark Night is quite obscure; the bright side of life is barely seen; what readers find is only weakness and gloominess of human kind. Dark Night describes an ugly "food chain" which is composed of various privities taken place in Taipei city where economy grows rapidly.
---Quoted from Taiwan Literature Net
李昂一向不畏外界眼光，多年來以女性觀點出發寫作，雖然文壇及讀者對她的作品及風格褒貶不一，但其鮮明風格在文壇佔有一席之地。她曾表示作品《暗夜》裡幾乎不見光明面，所滙集的只有人性的弱點與黑暗。《暗夜》的背景是經濟急速發展的臺北都市，以買賣股票股市運作為核心，敍述現代社會裏各方人物因利益關係而糾結成的一條醜陋的「生物鏈」。
