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."

出乎意料，一帮ＳＢ翻的书。２１世纪还搞林琴南式翻译，本身就够操蛋的了，直接说粗制滥造得了，饶是如此还不见外，改原著，删减情节，改变章节顺序，真想问问：你们算干嘛的？译者是个悬疑小说作家，没文化，年轻气盛，没分寸感，我不怪丫，但是北京出版社的编辑怎么回...
評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...

評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...

So far I haven't thought of how to write a review.
评分米有看完……不過她的文字確實不錯。
评分找到瞭這本童年陰影????
评分這是我的碩士畢業論文的研究題目。華人女性的細膩。這一次增加瞭懸念和機智的幽默感。
评分有的小說還是要看原版的好。
