享受人生:我的人生美学
世上有成千上万的人在写作。这首先是人类已经可以将很少精力用于维生的产物,很多人已经变得穷极无聊,所以写作。有一次我受一个读书俱乐部之邀去深圳,遇到当地某区作协的人,他告诉我说,仅仅这个区注册的写作者就有几千人。……我的写作很可能在他人看来不是个东西,但是那是我的生命,我的时间,我的痛苦,我的快乐。我早已乐在其中,这就足够了。叔本华的“钟摆理论”在说,大多数人在需求未得满足时陷入痛苦,在需求已得满足时陷入无聊,人生就在这痛苦与无聊的两端像钟摆一样摆来摆去。Fly By Night
Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye was born at a time sacred to Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies out of Jams and Butterchurns, which is why her father insisted on naming her after the housefly. He also insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel Uncle Westerly and Aunt Briony, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Saracen, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words.
