This is the oddest book I have ever read. It makes no sense at all. The really odd thing though, is that I enjoyed very much reading it most of the time, although I frequently heard myself muttering, “What the fuck is she talking about? Is that what she was talking about a minute ago?” But there is no narrative, just disjointed pieces of someone's life as though a schizophrenic who smoked a lot of pot was trying to write an autobiography.
I recieved this ARC free from the publisher theough Goodreads.
Pond was a charming and quirky collection of short stories that came across more as reflections on life and mundane situations than actual stories. There's a certain humor to it too so although there wasn't much story it was still a fun read.
其實我覺得負評講得也沒錯，這本書就是一個人一直在講自己生活中雞毛蒜皮的小事，但我就不覺得小的事情就必定是不重要的事情。大家說寫得很像Lydia Davis，家裡放了兩本都還沒看⋯
