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
贝塔斯曼已经停止了所有的中国业务，现在出来挑剔这本书应该没什么时效性，只是如鲠在喉,不吐不快. 所谓"译写",是贝塔斯曼发明出来的做法.出版社也罢，译者也罢，谁有权力主动改变-或者说曲解原著的内容,这违背一切做书和翻译作品的准则. 关于这本书的做法,早先曾经有过讨论. ...
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...
评分买这本书不为了美籍华人的作者，不为了写恐怖小说的上海译者，当然也不是为了那司空见惯的华丽宣传词藻。一句话，因为它独特。 我是第一次接触此类的作品：以一位灵魂的视角看世界，看生活，看周边的朋友和自己。这需要任何一个活着的作者充分发挥出她那哪怕微乎其微的...
评分看过相关评论之后才知道原来贝塔斯曼已经在中国销声匿迹了，去年五月在武汉的光谷广场大洋百货家乐福超市还见到实体店。不知道现在怎么样了。 书看了一半，搁在了书架上。 实在想不通，蔡骏怎么就可以一个作家的身份去改变另外一个作家的作品。或许那个时候的他也算得上年轻...
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。 ...

This is the nature of endings, it seems. They never end.
评分This is the nature of endings, it seems. They never end.
评分这是我的硕士毕业论文的研究题目。华人女性的细腻。这一次增加了悬念和机智的幽默感。
评分米有看完……不过她的文字确实不错。
