本书是庐隐与丈夫李唯建二人的六十八封通信集。庐隐说这六十八封书信“没有一篇、没有一句，甚至没有一个字，是造作出来的。字里行间自能读来满满情意。1928年，庐隐认识了比她小九岁的清华大学的学生——一位乐天派的青年诗人李唯建，这位青年诗人对庐隐的爱犹如潮水般猛烈。这对姐弟恋人留下了脍炙人口的千古名篇——《云鸥情书集》；爱拯救了庐隐，然而庐隐两次甜蜜的爱都是流星，且第二次爱的代价是因难产子宫破裂，把自己的生命永远定格在了三十五岁。她的文字使人热泪不止，她的人生使人凄切哀婉。1977年，李唯建写了一首抒发生平感怀的自传体长诗《吟怀篇》：“海滨灵海无潮汐，故人一去绝音息。冷鸥空留逐波影，异云徒伤变幻性。”庐隐对李唯建说：“你是绝顶的聪明人，纵使你沉默，你也是了然。”她对自己说：“我想游戏人间，反被人间游戏了。”

American Notes for General Circulation is a travelogue by Charles Dickens detailing his trip to North America from January to June 1842. While there he acted as a critical observer of North American society, almost as if returning a status report on their progress. This can be compared to the style of his Pictures from Italy written four years later, where he wrote far more like a tourist. His American journey was also an inspiration for his novel Martin Chuzzlewit.
