"Salt Fish Girl" is the mesmerizing tale of an ageless female character who shifts shape and form through time and place. Told in the beguiling voice of a narrator who is fish, snake, girl, and woman - all of whom must struggle against adversity for survival - the novel is set alternately in nineteenth-century China and in a futuristic Pacific Northwest. At turns whimsical and wry, "Salt Fish Girl" intertwines the story of Nu Wa, the shape-shifter, and that of Miranda, a troubled young girl living in the walled city of Serendipity circa 2044. Miranda is haunted by traces of her mother's glamourous cabaret career, the strange smell of durian fruit that lingers about her, and odd tokens reminiscient of Nu Wa. Could Miranda be infected by the Dreaming Disease that makes the past leak into the present? Framed by a playful sense of magical realism, "Salt Fish Girl" reveals a futuristic Pacific Northwest where corporations govern cities, factory workers are cybernetically engineered, middle-class labour is a video game, and those who haven't sold out to commerce and other ills must fight the evil powers intent on controlling everything. Rich with ancient Chinese mythology and cultural lore, this remarkable novel is about gender, love, honour, intrigue, and fighting against oppression.

作者野心很大脑洞很大但还是浓浓的orientalism… 然后说榴莲是south china广东厨房的味道?怕不是唐人街的广东厨房… 1800s广东会有factory worker??历史重学吧
评分我太喜欢了。通过重新定义reproduction myth而从根本上解构patriarchy和heteronormative。女娲故事加上cyborg manifesto 就是走向post-gender 未来的钥匙!!
评分类似Margaret Atwood,是那种特别有野心,包罗一切重大主题(feminist,ecologism,anti-racism,anti-corporation capitalism)的mythical sci-fi,适合做论文分析文本,但读起来并不愉快。
