From the award-winning author of Waiting and War Trash: an urgent, timely novel that follows an aspiring author, an outrageous book idea,and a lone journalist’s dogged quest for truth in the Internet age.
New York, 2005. Chinese expatriate Feng Danlin is a fiercely principled reporter at a small news agency that produces a website read by the Chinese diaspora around the world. Danlin’s explosive exposés have made him legendary among readers—and feared by Communist officials. But his newest assignment may be his undoing: investigating his ex-wife, Yan Haili, an unscrupulous novelist who has willingly become a pawn of the Chinese government in order to realize her dreams of literary stardom.
Haili’s scheme infuriates Danlin both morally and personally—he will do whatever it takes to expose her as a fraud. But in outing Haili, he is also provoking her powerful political allies,and he will need to draw on all of his journalistic cunning to emerge from this investigation with his career—and his life—still intact. A brilliant,darkly funny story of corruption, integrity, and the power of the pen, The Boat Rocker is a tour de force of modern fiction.
HA JIN left his native China in 1985 to attend Brandeis University. He is the author of seven previous novels, four story collections, three volumes of poetry, and a book of essays. He has received the National Book Award, two PEN/Faulkner Awards, the PEN/Hemingway Foundation Award, the Asian American Literary Award, and the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction. In 2014 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Ha Jin lives in the Boston area and is director of the creative writing program at Boston University.

太实了
评分虽然是小说,故事都是现实的影子 (以cao changqing为原型,关于《911生死婚礼》一书炒作和政治操作为背景)。小说部分让人失望,作者最擅长的耐心讲述在这本书中变成了喋喋不休的控诉和抱怨,大男子主义视角也暴露无疑。书名《boat rocker》来自书中关于个人挑战国家权威的比喻,”像一只乌龟想要弄沉一艘大船“,但在英文中,并没有这个用法,从某种意义上来说,这本书更像是一部说着英文的中国作品。
评分因为写作和出版相差好些年,于是读这本书好像看出土文物一样,别有一番滋味。如果不是读了小说,真的很难相信世纪初的中国出版界竟然还有这等奇事。遗忘有两层意思,消极的一面当然是说不应忘记过去,积极的一面则是,糟粕总会被扔进垃圾箱。
评分太实了
评分太多观点陈述,不如去写杂文或时评。故事本身也弱,整个小说读起来就如同在辩论赛中插播短剧。直观感觉是,作者有很多思考,得出了很多结论,非常需要发出自己的声音。哈金书中的人物,不管生活在哪个年代,总给我一种陈旧感,似乎都生活在文革前后。一系列的人物有着同样的性格特征,与所处的环境密不可分的性格特征。鉴于此书中的某些论点,惊讶于他的其他书居然还能有中译本…很神奇…
