看到paper megagerie那章,在地铁上眼睛湿润了
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。
评分小刘真的太棒了ಥ_ಥ (最喜欢的故事居然是state change 当然折纸动物等一系列故事都让人掉眼泪 饭政治意味未免太浓重 state change就是淡淡的忧伤 但又觉得已经是最好的结局了。 (呜呜我爱小刘
评分刘老师的故事,平铺直叙,却有暗流涌动,我看一个哭一个
