显微镜下的大明

徽州府历年的税粮账册，都存在歙县库房里。大明税赋结构很是繁复，徽州又是纳税大户，账册涉及大量加减折算、书算钱粮，这正是绝佳的应用题题例。磨炼好了这门手艺，以后就业便有保障了。 于是在隆庆三年的某一天，帅嘉谟设法接触这些官府账册。一个学霸就这样高高兴兴地开始做起数学题来。

匡超人

而我和蔡那时的相交，仔细想来，正是十五六岁ー个典型台北长大的台北小孩，和南部本省海线黑帮家庭出生的zhitu𨑨迌少年，像两只蜗牛，试探着彼此也懵懂的硬壳（虽然一踩就碎），和粘湿的柔软部分，无法掌握语言，但好像都是教官眼中坏分子的某种“前成人社交腔调”的启蒙。

新千年文学备忘录

珀尔修斯的力量永远来自他拒绝直视，但不是拒绝他注定要生活于其中的现实。他随身携带着这现实，把它当作他的特殊负担来接受。

如何读，为什么读

Melville was not a Christian, and tended to identify with the ancient Gnostic heresy, in which the creator God of this world is a bungler and impostor, while the true God, called the Stranger or Alien God, is exiled somewhere in the outer regions of the cosmos.Early, major Faulkner is a kind of unknowing Gnostic; West, Pynchon, and McCarthy in their different ways are very knowing indeed. My subject is how to read their best fiction, and why, and not how to instruct my own readers in ancient heterodoxies (at least not here!), but the first sequence of four novels that I have chosen, in the wake of Melville, achieve their negative splendors in modes parallel to Gnostic visions, as we will see.
