A provocative new novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter .
On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."

读后感
如果你有个温暖的长长的下午，建议你座在靠阳光的位置，别带音乐，静静的看这本书。这是趟漫长的旅行，或者你并不觉得它有多让你激动，它并不是以悬疑取胜的小说，但是你若安静的一气呵成看完，我想你再合上书的那一瞬间会有微微的感叹。 之前并不知道这个美籍华人...
评分大多数人在骂蔡骏，人我认识，他的书没看过。译写不是个好事儿，何况连人家原译者名儿都没提。至于林纾的翻译那是空前绝后，倒不存在局不局限，谁让人家中文太好了，那种译写是锦上添花，古今无二，不能推广，也不能作对比。蔡骏也是受害者。 小说前半部分还是很好看的，从...
评分这本书是在旧书店里买回来,一如其它地先把它放在书架上沉淀一下.今天第一天拿起来阅读,就看了一半.作者的方式显然很对我的胃口,发现她的话很朴实,不卖弄.感觉先赢了一步,这一步很重要,可以决定书能不能被继续下去.很多时候那些不能读下去的书就在这时被决定了. 于是决定明天继...
评分书本拿在手里，第一件事就是看出版社。但我忽略了这次是译写而不是译者。 熟悉的作家照例是前言后记最后看的，不过当眼睛扫到译写的那位短短一行的资历简介时，就开始惊讶了。 那一行是：28岁 魔羯座 作家协会成员。 除了星座，另外两个词语都可以抹煞我看这本译作的兴趣。 ...
评分此刻，手里拿着一本《沉没之鱼》，不过已经买了很长时间了，当初不知什么原因，看了一半后居然搁置起来。书的作者是美籍华裔女作家谭恩美，以及上海年轻作家蔡骏，之前并没有听说过蔡骏何许人也，直到一次在与朋友QQ聊天时，朋友说她正在看蔡骏的书，还不错。我这才买了这...
