Lin Zhao is underrated. She will be recognized as one of the greatest force in contemporary Chinese writers soon. I have not felt such urge to learn about a writer since Borges's Ficciones and Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium.

The diction is too convoluted and redundant, clogged my imagination a little bit. This technique of overwhelming one’s senses by tuning up the quantity of sensory stimuli rather than their intensity works better in films I think.

密密麻麻到幾乎氾濫的意象,天馬行空的跳躍離題與想像,和藏在這下面或者說交織於每條線交叉纏繞的縫隙裡的血肉:從小女孩到少女再到半熟女人所嚐到的一切。它同時是私密而又普世的:或許不是人人都有,也不必有楊白馬,不必有拋妻棄女的父親,不必有哀怨而早逝的母親,但在故作戲謔包裹中的情感總有相通之處。全書幾乎沒有大世界,只有無盡的意識流,如長河般流淌——因此是流溪,它小而精巧但連綿不斷。作為一個女孩子,我能體會。
Full of signs and symbolism, it jumps, digresses and imagines. And it is what underneath or intertwined that constructs the flesh and blood: everything that a child, a teenage girl and maybe a premature woman has tasted. It is so personal and yet so universal: not everyone has or needs a love crush, an abandoning father or a mourning mother, but the emotions carried by the deliberate giff-gaff speak for itself. It is a flowing creek, an endless stream of consciousness, small, delicate and everlasting.

02. 读完需要缓一缓。像一条流经亚热带丛林的溪流,林棹的文字和思绪繁复绵密,又灵动跳跃。这条小溪映照出岸边榕树飘荡的气根,吐纳着岭南溽热的空气,来这里饮水的有小鹿也有毒蛇,一只羽毛脱落得斑驳的鸟溺死其间,激起涟漪,但也很快被前赴后继的水流吞没。

太過繁復的語言和報菜名式的掉書袋讓我在開頭感到極其不喜,甚至很失望。讀到半本以後才感覺漸入佳境,主人公作為不可靠的敘述者這一暗示在末尾把小說推向了高潮,最後百分之十是最喜歡的部分。

太亢奋了。稍微收点力会好点,最后5%还行。

经朋友推荐读起来的小说,没有想象中的那么好,见仁见智吧。文字天马行空,前半段繁华且绚丽但又读起来无所适从感,后半段落地了些,读起来灵气十足。文字是一大亮点,三星半。

我想打六星。近年看过最让我惊艳的中文小说。第一印象是,怎么那么像我钟爱的卡尔维诺和博尔赫斯的风格。故事和文笔都没有虎头蛇尾,真是难得。当然,年龄相仿,又是同乡,我太理解她写的主题,甚至于细节。难得的是她写的不落俗套,反而于我有治愈的神奇功效。这本小说把我想说的故事说出来了,而且比我说的好百倍,似乎让我可以开创新的生活,而不需要再叙来处了。
已经购入作者最新的一部作品,期待。
