第一次讀那篇獲奬無數的 “Paper Menagerie” 是高中備考SAT時做到的一篇閱讀理解,節選的內容和考試的試題主要探討瞭美國二代移民的身份認知與矛盾。當時還在國內讀書的我死活不能理解為什麼作者不願玩紙玩具,不願跟母親說英文,不願吃中國菜非要吃美國菜。 來美國的第三年重...

圖書標籤: 科幻 劉宇昆 小說 美國 KenLiu 英文原版 移民 scifi
3.5. Overrated.
評分整本書都透著一股淡淡的憂傷呢。
評分喜歡state change, simulacrum, the regular, the man who ended history。二代移民的故事無感。基於中國文化、神話的很大篇幅過分簡化、直白,像沒有內涵的那種兒童文學。不知道語種的原因占多少,但劉宇昆寫齣來的真的太不像瞭。兩星因為實在太喜歡《愛的算法》,覺得這本一定要看完,耐心消耗光瞭。
評分書名叫 "Other Stories and The Paper Menagerie" 更好,頭兩篇喜歡,“We are different, you and I, and the qualia of our consciousnesses are as divergent as two stars at the ends of the universe.”
評分摺紙那篇六年前看過翻譯版感覺很一般,今年讀英文版倒覺得細膩,可能中文本身的含蓄性錶達憤怒和愛意這些不含蓄的情緒,不搭。 State change不錯,其他很多文章過多中國元素,令我覺得不適,感覺在打種族牌。(在創意不足的文章裏,異文化會覺得喧賓奪主)。距Ted chiang還有一大截。
