It was he who was desperate - godless, modern man, whose most stirring visions came from sex scenes in movies. He looked on the blackened mountain, visible now with the risen sun. Then he closed his eyes with the other pilgrims and found, to his surprise, that he had much in his heart. For what was he but a free man who had rejected much and embraced little? He was a free man who had never truly loved. He was a free man who believed nothing in particular, who did nothing in particular. He was a free man who had not even embraced his freedom. (查看原文)

他玩笑开得很到位。这幅画儿确实有那么点鬼马怪诞。然而，他又指出，光，民主般神圣的光，照射到这些牲畜的背部，散发着一种不可侵犯的圣洁。

华裔作家的写作总是涉及文化冲突与身份问题，但这本短篇的糟糕之处在于，作者眼中的东方总离不开一些刻板印象，写作方式上则有种模仿美式而适得其反的感觉。八个故事都很一般，也没看出哪里有趣...读的时候一直有种错觉，像是移民美国多年的邻居老太太，没受过什么文字训练，某天突发奇想把身边的事情写下来了...

好久不读小说这个文类，重新读起来有种又熟悉又陌生的感觉。有几篇译得真的很好，像用母语写出来一般流畅。整体感觉有种冷眼旁观的戏谑式的孤独感贯穿了整个文风，一切都淡淡的，仿佛为了将某种更大的伤痛掩饰下去；掩饰着掩饰着，竟却习惯了，倒还能坚强地自我寻乐。总之算是喜欢的。

那个时候，你要是发现生活出了什么问题，还是可以想办法纠正的。你需要做的只是拨动一下圣贤的手，给他指明方向，告诉他说在这里，看到了吗？这里疼，这里，这里，这里。
