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.

评分合上书，忽然听黑暗里时间滴答摇摆的声音，已经很少晚睡了，所以听到这久违的声音莫名的竟然有一种恍惚的出离感，深夜黑暗的屋子，一边电脑雪亮的荧屏，或许是看书看的有些痴迷，脑子立下浮出奈绪那神奇的老祖母在电脑前打字给奈绪回信的场景，所有的文字倒回--字里行间的千山...

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。
评分竟然最后变成了励志的故事，但是作者作为当代女性小说家的眼界太浅，最后不知道该怎么圆了，就加入魔幻色彩和量子物理学，糊弄谁呢？
评分Too many things she wants to cover the book end up like a hodgepodge of Zen, war, bullying, a writer's retired life, quantum physics, suicide, and Internet and so on. But the work she did in opposition to linear timeline is also noticeable. Pretty much a literary representation of Walter Benjamin's philosophy on the theses of history.
评分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
评分结尾是不能圆了所以变成了个平行时空故事吗。。。
