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."

读后感

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...  

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...

潭恩美是美国著名的作家之一。在她早先的每一本小说中，她用作品中所散发的神秘力量成功的引诱了读者。尤其在《喜福会》和《接骨师之女》中，她所展示的那种人际关系的复杂和痛苦也迷惑着我们，特别是母女关系。历史上不清晰的部分也不知不觉的变成了作者本身的经历，她让我们...

如果你有个温暖的长长的下午，建议你座在靠阳光的位置，别带音乐，静静的看这本书。这是趟漫长的旅行，或者你并不觉得它有多让你激动，它并不是以悬疑取胜的小说，但是你若安静的一气呵成看完，我想你再合上书的那一瞬间会有微微的感叹。 　　 　　之前并不知道这个美籍华人...

这是我的硕士毕业论文的研究题目。华人女性的细腻。这一次增加了悬念和机智的幽默感。
