具体描述
A brilliant, unforgettable, and long-awaited novel from bestselling author Ruth Ozeki
“Atime being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.”
In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. A diary is Nao’s only solace—and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine.
Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.
Full of Ozeki’s signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home.

评分The stories were told from now and then actually happened in the same time, it confirms my opinion on "the matter of time". I know this novel wasn't the first one telling stories in this way, but it also involved the stubborn and deeply rooted weakness and...
评分初读奈绪的日记，会觉得去原宿血拼一下也好，呡着咖啡构思行文也好，是一种浑然天成的可爱，萌态可鞠。而她的故事，明明有着太多的不幸和坎坷，自己在学校和家庭里都正遭受着这样或那样的不顺，她却能够抽离出来，以一种旁观者的心态去叙写，夹杂着戏谑和自嘲，也有着严肃而认...
用户评价
毕竟是第一本真正意义上的英文原版小说。写得还可以，不过作为有亚洲文化背景的人而言，这本书显得有些老生常谈。
评分一个包罗万象的故事，核心也许仍然可以看做有关写作的救赎。
评分结尾是不能圆了所以变成了个平行时空故事吗。。。
评分平行叙事手法有趣，故事本身是中规中矩的日本思路
评分her husband seems like a far more interesting person than she is
