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.
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。
评分平行叙事手法有趣,故事本身是中规中矩的日本思路
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。
评分Smart end to end respondency!
失业、自杀、校园霸凌禅道,物理量子力学、禅学、二战、911、神风特攻队、好像还有奥利弗时常分析的那种社会自然学……显然这是一本内容丰富的书籍,它可以给我们带来的不止是内心的于情感的震撼,还能间接给你普及一些知识。将这么多东西融合在一起,它们自然的存在这个小说里...

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...
