昨晚吃了鯷魚花枝梨子燉飯，還有一顆煎得恰恰的蛋。然後第二次把這本書看完。「時間裡的癡人」是美國作家Jennifer Egan第四本小說。故事是以裡頭的各種角色為第一人稱穿插著著敘述而成的篇章。各個視線聚集之處，是「出現很棒停頓的搖滾歌曲」。在寫法上也成為了整本小說節奏的重點，並且，成為其所述的那個轉折點。
小時候聽搖滾樂，總是很不喜歡曲目裡有時候會暫停的專輯，寂寞苦澀無盡的讀書時光裡總是希望被豐富甚至吵鬧的編曲給填滿，那樣的暫停總是令人不安。然而漸漸漸漸的，卻覺得那樣的安排是多麼絕妙而必要的存在。像是最近的這些日子，人家說妳做什麼呢？我說沒什麼吧，吃飽睡好，讀讀書拍拍照，偶爾寫寫稿（拖很兇是真的，抱歉...）這樣的「空白」，希望以後也成為很搖滾的人生中的很棒的停頓，即使最近已經不那麼聽搖滾樂了。
這本小說在出版隔年獲得普利茲小說獎、美國國家書評獎。
My dinner last night was anchovy squid pear risotto, and a sunny side up egg that I just couldn't resist stirring the yolk to the rice. Meanwhile I finished the second time reading of the novel "A visit from the Goon Squad" by American writer Jennifer Egan.
The story was built up with several chapters from different perspectives of characters, in different tones even different forms. As well as all the angle toward to the same point of the chapter "Great Rock and Roll Pauses", which itself also became the turning point in whole story, right before it ends, just like the pauses of albums.
When I was younger I never understand the meaning and feel anxious of some Rock n Roll albums which pauses for a while before their last song. Wishing the time and body to be fully filled by those complex, even noisy melodies n beats without those unexpected silences. Yet time passes and I start to appreciate the blank as the days I am having now. Hoping one day it will become the excellent moment in my life just like the short silence in those great albums.
This novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction on 2011, an year after it published.
