Reviews

[Rebecca]

This author has a very charming style, it's no wonder this is so popular in China. This collection of short stories was sometimes charming, sometimes poignant, sometimes bitterly ironic. I particularly loved the vivid and wonderful descriptions of food and nature.

趁着读完冈本加乃子的《老技抄》对应着读完了这本同样短篇小说集，不同的时空京都的寿司店与联大门口的绿杨小店，同为寺院却不同故事下的鲤鱼与受戒；分别在女性和男性的视角下展开的不同的人物心理，生活关注点

“我随着火车的摇晃，想到如同我一般平凡的人，在我这半生中，即使经过了如此平凡的二十年生活，心中似乎仍有一丝丝的悸动，而这一丝丝的悸动，正在某处与一个不是很熟悉的人的悸动相触。”

“至于恋爱关系，通常只要一方有所顿悟，另一方也就无法再继续发展下去。所谓顿悟，就是透过体验生命的普遍性、流通性，来理解小小的一只鲤鱼其实也充满了天地之间的所有道理，进而明白恋爱不是人生的全部，而是人生的一小部分而已，绝对不能因为这一小部分而让人生停滞不前”

“她挎着一篮子荸荠回去了，在柔软的田埂上留了一串脚印。明海看着她的脚印，傻了。五个小小的趾头，脚掌平平的，脚跟细细的，脚弓部分缺了一块。明海身上有一种从来没有过的感觉，他觉得心里痒痒的。这一串美丽的脚印把小和尚的心搞乱了”

有的时候发现对比着读着同类短篇 也有着新的发现.

生机勃勃的情趣对规矩的胜利，生命对于虚无所下的战书；
漂亮小兽物间的互相吸引、欲望和爱情；
女神之死。

唉！

汪先生的作品读来平淡，但又充满了生活的气息，不明就里的仿佛经历这种生活，不讲究大道理，不忍卒读。看似云淡风轻的文章中，不止有生活的平淡，也有生活的苦难和冲突，虽然苦难但是却从不让我感到对生活的绝望，即使是悲剧但是仍有热情，即使是小人物的苦难但仍旧存有幽默。不用强烈的情感冲击，用美妙的行文，精美的细节和细致的环境描写，正如春雨般润物细无声的滋润着我挣扎的内心。

汪曾祺的文章就是觉得淡淡的，像茶一样，不和我的口味。我吃饭看书都喜欢口味重一点。而且这个也不适合一口气读完，就是想起来拿着读两段，读了很久

【好讀】

这是汪先生的短篇小说集，买之前没想到《受戒》这篇那么短，其他的更短，而且文字冲淡平和，跟散文差不多。讲的都是几十年前小村小镇的平凡人物故事，感觉有些像在看皮影戏，简单而迷蒙，隔着一层白幕，所有的悲欢离合都变得不那么真切了，就像一个遥远的梦。最好的枕边书，睡前读物。

芸窗评价其为最清新灵透的初恋小说，没有之一。语言非常生动。田埂上的脚印那段很有意思。
