Ken Liu is one of the most lauded authors in the field of American literature. A winner of the Nebula, Hugo, World Fantasy, Locus Sidewise, and Science Fiction & Fantasy Translation Awards, he has also been nominated for the Sturgeon and Locus Awards. His short story, “The Paper Menagerie,” is the first work of fiction to simultaneously win the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards. He also translated the 2015 Hugo Award–winning novel The Three-Body Problem, written by Cixin Liu, which is the first novel to ever win the Hugo award in translation. The Grace of Kings, his debut novel, is the first volume in a silkpunk epic fantasy series set in a universe he and his wife, artist Lisa Tang Liu, created together. It was a finalist for a Nebula Award and the recipient of the Locus Award for Best First Novel. He lives near Boston with his family.

我喜欢KenLiu把古老的神话和科幻情节混在一起。在没有因特网的漫长历史中,在大多数人都不会读书写字的社会中,人们通过讲故事来告诉他们的后代,他们的喜怒哀乐、他们的价值观念、他们对于生死的期待。那些故事,是我们的祖先留给我们的log。仔细解读这些log,也许我们能发现...
评分這是我這兩年來讀的書裡面最好看的一本。劉宇昆:《摺紙動物園》。 最早知道他的原因是他擔任兩個書的中翻英翻譯《三體》與《北京折疊》。有關注中文科幻的人,就知道這兩本的英譯本分別在 2015 和 2016 年獲得雨果獎(科幻文學類的世界級獎項)。當然原本沒有抱太大的期待,只...
评分 评分第一次读那篇获奖无数的 “Paper Menagerie” 是高中备考SAT时做到的一篇阅读理解,节选的内容和考试的试题主要探讨了美国二代移民的身份认知与矛盾。当时还在国内读书的我死活不能理解为什么作者不愿玩纸玩具,不愿跟母亲说英文,不愿吃中国菜非要吃美国菜。 来美国的第三年重...
评分断断续续终于把Ken Liu刘宇昆的短篇小说集看完,几乎不看科幻的我读这本书有几个原因: 1.想看看为啥他的作品很被认可,尤其是他的英文; 2.希望看一个在西方长大的华人如何理解表现使用亚洲的历史文化元素,而非传统类型讲中国的英文小说(大多讲某苦难时期); 3. 有些好奇amaz...
刘老师的故事,平铺直叙,却有暗流涌动,我看一个哭一个
评分喜欢state change, simulacrum, the regular, the man who ended history。二代移民的故事无感。基于中国文化、神话的很大篇幅过分简化、直白,像没有内涵的那种儿童文学。不知道语种的原因占多少,但刘宇昆写出来的真的太不像了。两星因为实在太喜欢《爱的算法》,觉得这本一定要看完,耐心消耗光了。
评分想象力揉杂着中国传统文化元素,行文湿润、伤感又温柔。《The Paper Menagerie》直戳泪点。
评分生病请了三天假。上一次这么长时间地脱离现实还是大三时候住院。晚上读了The Paper Menagerie,想起了当年收到的《病隙小邮》。人生仿佛虚构无端,总是充满了好多的来不及,却又漫幻不可知。 #病人容易情绪起伏
评分so cliche, but also so touching!
