A provocative new novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter .
On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."
This is the nature of endings, it seems. They never end.

评分So far I haven't thought of how to write a review.
评分找到了这本童年阴影????
评分找到了这本童年阴影????
之前关于谭恩美的表扬太多,以至于对本小说期望被吊得如此之高。 好久没有看小说了,阅读小说的感觉有点模糊了。 小说没有吸引我最大的兴致,断断续续地读了些天才读完,几甚放弃。 因为是译写本,实在是想象不出作者原著的风采了。 或者原著也如此的平淡;或者被译写得乱七八...
评分买这本书不为了美籍华人的作者,不为了写恐怖小说的上海译者,当然也不是为了那司空见惯的华丽宣传词藻。一句话,因为它独特。 我是第一次接触此类的作品:以一位灵魂的视角看世界,看生活,看周边的朋友和自己。这需要任何一个活着的作者充分发挥出她那哪怕微乎其微的...
评分看过相关评论之后才知道原来贝塔斯曼已经在中国销声匿迹了,去年五月在武汉的光谷广场大洋百货家乐福超市还见到实体店。不知道现在怎么样了。 书看了一半,搁在了书架上。 实在想不通,蔡骏怎么就可以一个作家的身份去改变另外一个作家的作品。或许那个时候的他也算得上年轻...
评分此刻,手里拿着一本《沉没之鱼》,不过已经买了很长时间了,当初不知什么原因,看了一半后居然搁置起来。书的作者是美籍华裔女作家谭恩美,以及上海年轻作家蔡骏,之前并没有听说过蔡骏何许人也,直到一次在与朋友QQ聊天时,朋友说她正在看蔡骏的书,还不错。我这才买了这...
评分这本书是在旧书店里买回来,一如其它地先把它放在书架上沉淀一下.今天第一天拿起来阅读,就看了一半.作者的方式显然很对我的胃口,发现她的话很朴实,不卖弄.感觉先赢了一步,这一步很重要,可以决定书能不能被继续下去.很多时候那些不能读下去的书就在这时被决定了. 于是决定明天继...
