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...

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...

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。
评分中段一些部分还是很感人的，光nao的故事就能拍出一个不错的电影了吧。校园欺凌虽然写的很多了，但放上和神风队的比较到也是别有一发感触，再加上还有个失魂落魄但怎么都得爱的父亲。可ruth那条线独来读去没什么味道，到最后更是直接烂尾，扯出什么量子理论有点反感。。。
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…
评分前面写的这么好怎么忽然烂尾了
