Klickitat
Vivian feels left behind when her older sister, Audra, runs away from home. She believes that Audra will return and pays careful attention to the clues around her. Then, inexplicably, writing begins to appear in a blank notebook. When Audra does come back for Vivian, she's in the company of a strange man. The three of them run away together and practice wilderness survival. While Audra plans for the future, Vivian continues to gather evidence: Who is this mysterious man, and does he have any connection to the words appearing in her notebook? Klickitat is a haunting story, full of atmosphere and awakening, crafted by one of today's most startling literary talents. "The dreamy narration is evocative of The Virgin Suicides…it might be a readalike for E. Lockhart's We Were Liars…"--VOYA温故(之二)
人类始终生活在历史的投影里。这投影,既非上帝的恩赐,也不是什么神做的手脚,而是源自人类将自己与动物区分开来的那个重要特征——记忆。历史的投影有过远有近,远的如原始祖先迈向文明渺然足迹,所的如昨天刚刚发生的事情。时间之流,不舍昼夜,不仅把已经发生的,而且终将把正在发生的以及行将发生的一切,都裹挟而去,统统融入历史的投影。最早意识到这投影价值的,不是别人,正是我们的至圣先师孔夫子,他老人家一句“温故而知新”,虽平白如话,却如醍醐灌顶。历史既是人类活动的归宿,更是面向未来的智慧之源。谈到历史与现实的关系,英国作家奥威尔的表述则更加直截了当,他说:谁掌握了历史,谁就掌握了现在。
