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."

評分好吧，我觉得这是我迄今为止度过最好的书了。现在貌似接触的一般都是以死者口吻记述的。其实并不知道谭恩美，在图书馆看到被题目吸引才看的。作者是美籍华人，还带点历史背景的，便更喜爱了。蔡骏的书看过一点，不过实在看不下去。 内容真的很有想象力！最后都标出泪了。。 想...
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...
