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...
评分 评分书本拿在手里，第一件事就是看出版社。但我忽略了这次是译写而不是译者。 熟悉的作家照例是前言后记最后看的，不过当眼睛扫到译写的那位短短一行的资历简介时，就开始惊讶了。 那一行是：28岁 魔羯座 作家协会成员。 除了星座，另外两个词语都可以抹煞我看这本译作的兴趣。 ...
评分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...
评分原版没看过，蔡骏这个译写版的真是乏善可陈，现在看到76页，我已经用勒接近一周时间，可见这书是多么让人昏昏欲睡，我这版是06年11月的，当时买完匆匆读勒一遍，时隔九年，无聊翻书看见这本，突然想不起来书中故事，就想仔细再读一遍，现在读到76页，期间数次感觉乏味的不行，...
