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.

读后感
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...
评分我已经迫不及待想要看奈绪和春树2号是如何死去的了。 这一切终结在不可能的梦来临之时。 校园霸凌、背叛的朋友、总是在自杀的爸爸、援交……这些倒霉的事情一件一件发生在一个十几岁女孩的身上。读奈绪的日记，就像躺在床上，睁开眼睛眼前压下一片沉重乌黑的乌云，深深吸气，呼...
评分你存在，所以我存在—— 究竟谁才是不存在女孩？是出现在日记里的奈绪，还是阅读故事的露丝？ 还是如书中所说，你存在，所以我存在？ 故事在试图向读者描素一种相互作用的世界，让人们看到无数个选择之后存在的无限可能。 故事中的佛学思想被表现得淋漓尽致，适合有一定修行...

用户评价
light snappy language, ambitious storylines, buddhist themes that don't feel too heavy handed, self-reflexive praise for open-endedness and not knowing, yet overall happy ending as resolution. magical, thoughtful, and surprisingly doesn't feel heavy-handed
评分Smart end to end respondency!
评分故事的叙述方式非常独特，其中想表达的意义远远超过日记本身。一个孩子的日记没有华丽的词藻，有一颗纯的心。
评分这本小说的有趣之处在于它对书本这个物品或媒介或形式的关注。比如把追忆似水年华的书页去除 换上自己的日记。比如用西方哲学思想的书页做昆虫折纸。抑或是仅仅简单第翻书。似乎翻书和书写就是逆熵过程。然而living life, turning pages, battling waves, same thing. 我也确实不喜欢结尾 不是因为量子力学的比喻 而是因为不论事重度抑郁的人还是在学校里被欺负成那样的人 都会永永远远地被世界排斥也会永永远远的排斥他人。不会正常也不会好。生活就是搏击海浪。梭罗也说落叶与风的搏击是他见过最sublime的情景。因为都是没完没了却必然惨败。
评分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。
