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.
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
评分故事挺包罗万象的,对西方读者来说还是很有助于了解日本社会和文化的,但对中国读者而言,作者讲的大部分内容,像日本社会压力大自杀关系紧张这些,感觉不读大家也知道了。故事本身感觉什么都讲到了,又同时什么也没说。结尾部分不太给力。
评分结尾是不能圆了所以变成了个平行时空故事吗。。。
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…
评分說結尾牽強,玄乎的,估計還沒有真正體會「時間」在這部書中的核心意義,也沒有耐心去品味結尾的開放性和解構的力量,或者單純沒有足夠的想像力⋯ 但也剛好說明我們的世界本來就不是一元的,可能性本身本來就是一個永恆的悖論。
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...
评分这本书读得比较久,一方面是因为书的内容值得去细细琢磨,另一方面是恰好读这本书的时候在处理一件很棘手又让自己担心的事情。当书读完的时候,恰好我的事情也顺利的得以完成,或许冥冥中这本书也给了我一些老己子的力量。 从一个中国人的角度去解读奈绪家族的故...

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...
