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
之前关于谭恩美的表扬太多，以至于对本小说期望被吊得如此之高。 好久没有看小说了，阅读小说的感觉有点模糊了。 小说没有吸引我最大的兴致，断断续续地读了些天才读完，几甚放弃。 因为是译写本，实在是想象不出作者原著的风采了。 或者原著也如此的平淡；或者被译写得乱七八...

评分我不知道蔡先生如何能沾沾自喜的说他对其中情节做了改变以适应中国读者的口味,他有这个权利么? 所幸是花半价所得,不然肯定悔青肠子!
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...
评分原版没看过，蔡骏这个译写版的真是乏善可陈，现在看到76页，我已经用勒接近一周时间，可见这书是多么让人昏昏欲睡，我这版是06年11月的，当时买完匆匆读勒一遍，时隔九年，无聊翻书看见这本，突然想不起来书中故事，就想仔细再读一遍，现在读到76页，期间数次感觉乏味的不行，...

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。
评分找到了这本童年阴影????
评分这本书的翻译方式曾引人争议，便想从原文读起，再看译本究竟如何。
评分This is the nature of endings, it seems. They never end.
