A brilliant, unforgettable, and long-awaited novel from bestselling author Ruth Ozeki
“Atime being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.”
In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. A diary is Nao’s only solace—and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine.
Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.
Full of Ozeki’s signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home.
本书作者露丝·尾关是一位美国,加拿大双重国籍的作家,他的父亲是一位著名学者,而母亲是日本人,她1956年出生于美国,从小在美国长大,在大学学习英语和东方学,之后获得学位证书,毕业后又拿到日本教育部奖学金,在奈良大学继续读完研究生,毕业之后又回到美国纽约,一开始...
评分日本人写的小说里,欧美背景的也不少见。不过除了岛田庄司,大部分读来都是一种很奇怪的感觉。无论人名地名口头语怎么接近,读来还是完全的日本味。如果描写细致些,眼前还会浮现出几个老外讲日语——不仅如此,方方面面都是完全日式的。因此一般来说不是太喜欢这类小说。 因此...
评分你存在,所以我存在—— 究竟谁才是不存在女孩?是出现在日记里的奈绪,还是阅读故事的露丝? 还是如书中所说,你存在,所以我存在? 故事在试图向读者描素一种相互作用的世界,让人们看到无数个选择之后存在的无限可能。 故事中的佛学思想被表现得淋漓尽致,适合有一定修行...
一个包罗万象的故事,核心也许仍然可以看做有关写作的救赎。
评分說結尾牽強,玄乎的,估計還沒有真正體會「時間」在這部書中的核心意義,也沒有耐心去品味結尾的開放性和解構的力量,或者單純沒有足夠的想像力⋯ 但也剛好說明我們的世界本來就不是一元的,可能性本身本來就是一個永恆的悖論。
评分这本小说的有趣之处在于它对书本这个物品或媒介或形式的关注。比如把追忆似水年华的书页去除 换上自己的日记。比如用西方哲学思想的书页做昆虫折纸。抑或是仅仅简单第翻书。似乎翻书和书写就是逆熵过程。然而living life, turning pages, battling waves, same thing. 我也确实不喜欢结尾 不是因为量子力学的比喻 而是因为不论事重度抑郁的人还是在学校里被欺负成那样的人 都会永永远远地被世界排斥也会永永远远的排斥他人。不会正常也不会好。生活就是搏击海浪。梭罗也说落叶与风的搏击是他见过最sublime的情景。因为都是没完没了却必然惨败。
评分竟然最后变成了励志的故事,但是作者作为当代女性小说家的眼界太浅,最后不知道该怎么圆了,就加入魔幻色彩和量子物理学,糊弄谁呢?
