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.
Ruth Ozeki (born in New Haven, Connecticut) is a Japanese American novelist. She is the daughter of anthropologist Floyd Lounsbury.
Ozeki published her debut novel, My Year of Meats, in 1998. She followed up with All Over Creation in 2003. Her new novel, A Tale for the Time Being, was published on March 12, 2013.
She is married to Canadian land artist Oliver Kellhammer, and the couple divides their time between New York City and Vancouver.

评分前面写的这么好怎么忽然烂尾了
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。
评分督导推荐的小说。Naoko部分有不少都挺打动我的,特别是她和Jiko的互动,很therapeutic。但总体感觉很多描写比较单薄看着看着就走神了。西方人不了解东亚文化可能还觉得很迷人,我看了只想跳过…
评分最近看过最好看的一本
日本人写的小说里,欧美背景的也不少见。不过除了岛田庄司,大部分读来都是一种很奇怪的感觉。无论人名地名口头语怎么接近,读来还是完全的日本味。如果描写细致些,眼前还会浮现出几个老外讲日语——不仅如此,方方面面都是完全日式的。因此一般来说不是太喜欢这类小说。 因此...
评分无数个刹那里 从去处来的你 ——《不存在的女孩》,无穷中的时在 写这篇书评的时候,一直想不好放什么背景音乐,于是就搁置了很长的一段时间,直到又细细读了一遍最后的章节,觉得最适合的还是Tom Tykwer给《云图》作的片尾曲。从某种意义上说,《不存在的女孩》所构建的观点,...
