打开本书的时候的那天恰好公司宣布WFH,一周之后读完觉得自己也成了一个fevered 在自己制定的routine里打圈圈,觉得厌烦但又无法逃脱
评分抑郁中坐等删失
评分【藏书阁打卡】隔绝!一个亚裔女子的处女作决定了整部小说以一个亚裔女孩的视角展开。书中的情景让我想起当年的SARS,连Shen Fever这个来自深圳的致命流感,和当初广东的果子狸同出一源,也算是SARS留给作者的灵感吧。抛开写中国移民的那一段(政治眼镜,相当无味),大疫之下的纽约,在作者的笔下一点点地失去生机,最终只剩下残留者,而他们的使命竟然是挨家逐户去结束那些流感残喘者的生命!虽然和同为末世文学的Station Eleven相比要逊色一些,但是作为处女作已经相当不错了。而小说在浩劫之后的复生之中带给人们的依然是希望。
评分整本最喜欢第十六章,跟主线故事关系不大,交代女主及其父母从中国移民到美国的故事,延展成一本书我也会看。主线故事一般啦,我本来期待着这是一本亚裔写的station eleven的。

Born in Sanming, China, Ling grew up in Utah, Nebraska, and Kansas. She holds an MFA from Cornell University, where she also taught. Currently, she serve as an assistant professor at her alma mater, University of Chicago.
Candace Chen, a millennial drone self-sequestered in a Manhattan office tower, is devoted to routine. With the recent passing of her Chinese immigrant parents, she’s had her fill of uncertainty. She’s content just to carry on: She goes to work, troubleshoots the teen-targeted Gemstone Bible, watches movies in a Greenpoint basement with her boyfriend.
So Candace barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. Then Shen Fever spreads. Families flee. Companies cease operations. The subways screech to a halt. Her bosses enlist her as part of a dwindling skeleton crew with a big end-date payoff. Soon entirely alone, still unfevered, she photographs the eerie, abandoned city as the anonymous blogger NY Ghost.
Candace won’t be able to make it on her own forever, though. Enter a group of survivors, led by the power-hungry IT tech Bob. They’re traveling to a place called the Facility, where, Bob promises, they will have everything they need to start society anew. But Candace is carrying a secret she knows Bob will exploit. Should she escape from her rescuers?
A send-up and takedown of the rituals, routines, and missed opportunities of contemporary life, Ling Ma’s Severance is a moving family story, a quirky coming-of-adulthood tale, and a hilarious, deadpan satire. Most important, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the connections that drive us to do more than survive.
