书籍介绍
这更像一场发生在超市收银台前的精神漫游，而非一个有头有尾的故事。作者把日常琐碎——少女的心动、祖母烤的橘子皮烟味蛋糕、祖母们关于爱与金钱的闲谈——全部投进意识的搅拌机，搅出细碎而闪光的片段。它没有完整情节，只有不断游移的思绪与自我对话，跟着作者'游来游去'，一不小心就迷失其中。它适合那些愿意被语言本身带走、不介意放弃'讲清楚一件事'的读者；在这里，阅读与写作不是工具，而是抵抗平庸、守住自我的方式。它不解释成长，只呈现成长如何七零八落地发生：有时这一维，另一维，不均匀地。

- "I think I lied to him and other men about a lot of little things on a daily basis or was at least vague oftentimes as a way of keeping something of myself back from them. I didn't believe it was a good idea to let them in on everything."

用户评论
‘We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.’
yeah we tend to do that don’t we

一位少女对书的意识流情书
Look and substance
很特别的一本书，全程被作者的意识带着走，跟着游来游去
