A Tale for the Time Being pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.
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.
評分日本高中生好可憐ˊ_>ˋ
評分這本小說的有趣之處在於它對書本這個物品或媒介或形式的關注。比如把追憶似水年華的書頁去除 換上自己的日記。比如用西方哲學思想的書頁做昆蟲摺紙。抑或是僅僅簡單第翻書。似乎翻書和書寫就是逆熵過程。然而living life, turning pages, battling waves, same thing. 我也確實不喜歡結尾 不是因為量子力學的比喻 而是因為不論事重度抑鬱的人還是在學校裏被欺負成那樣的人 都會永永遠遠地被世界排斥也會永永遠遠的排斥他人。不會正常也不會好。生活就是搏擊海浪。梭羅也說落葉與風的搏擊是他見過最sublime的情景。因為都是沒完沒瞭卻必然慘敗。
評分故事的敘述方式非常獨特,其中想錶達的意義遠遠超過日記本身。一個孩子的日記沒有華麗的詞藻,有一顆純的心。
評分畢竟是第一本真正意義上的英文原版小說。寫得還可以,不過作為有亞洲文化背景的人而言,這本書顯得有些老生常談。
——评《不存在的女孩》 文/蓦烟如雪 有人称这本书是美国版的《海边的卡夫卡》,确实这本书是包着感伤和美丽,融合着魔幻与失去,还有那些不可思议的牵扯,让人感到了空灵的若即若离,又感到一股浓浓的悲壮从内心升腾出来。 《不存在的女孩》这本书我一度认为是美国人写的,因...
評分日本人写的小说里,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...
評分你存在,所以我存在—— 究竟谁才是不存在女孩?是出现在日记里的奈绪,还是阅读故事的露丝? 还是如书中所说,你存在,所以我存在? 故事在试图向读者描素一种相互作用的世界,让人们看到无数个选择之后存在的无限可能。 故事中的佛学思想被表现得淋漓尽致,适合有一定修行...
