第一次读那篇获奖无数的 “Paper Menagerie” 是高中备考SAT时做到的一篇阅读理解,节选的内容和考试的试题主要探讨了美国二代移民的身份认知与矛盾。当时还在国内读书的我死活不能理解为什么作者不愿玩纸玩具,不愿跟母亲说英文,不愿吃中国菜非要吃美国菜。 来美国的第三年重...
评分我喜欢KenLiu把古老的神话和科幻情节混在一起。在没有因特网的漫长历史中,在大多数人都不会读书写字的社会中,人们通过讲故事来告诉他们的后代,他们的喜怒哀乐、他们的价值观念、他们对于生死的期待。那些故事,是我们的祖先留给我们的log。仔细解读这些log,也许我们能发现...
评分Will state change of the soul happen to everyone? Or it only happens to those who dare to risk their lives for something great? Would it ever happen to someone who believes 100% that his soul is fixed? Would someone else want to risk her life to help him? I...
评分這是我這兩年來讀的書裡面最好看的一本。劉宇昆:《摺紙動物園》。 最早知道他的原因是他擔任兩個書的中翻英翻譯《三體》與《北京折疊》。有關注中文科幻的人,就知道這兩本的英譯本分別在 2015 和 2016 年獲得雨果獎(科幻文學類的世界級獎項)。當然原本沒有抱太大的期待,只...

想象力揉杂着中国传统文化元素,行文湿润、伤感又温柔。《The Paper Menagerie》直戳泪点。
评分听了audiobook,我只想说你们不买账的部分我买,不管是故事本身语言节奏还是叙述方式,我都被戳到了。
评分我也是在Google上找到了Fantasy & ScienceFiction杂志选才终于看了The Paper Menagerie。 就像楼上说的,it hited the most tender part of humanity。这个故事戳中了我的泪点,直击了我内心最柔软的地方。想起《喜福会》还有《The Absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian》。我们外国文学课的老师说过,身为外语系的中国人,我们就应该写出这种带中国色彩的故事,它是最能激起人们心中涟漪的。哈哈,也有评论说二代移民的故事都是一个套路,但还是哭成狗。+1!真的被深深戳中,不论多少次。
评分刘老师的故事,平铺直叙,却有暗流涌动,我看一个哭一个
评分看到paper megagerie那章,在地铁上眼睛湿润了
