【The Cat And The City / 貓與城市】閱讀心得 reviews

 


Book Name : The cat and the city

Author : Nick Bradley

Rating : 8/10

In Tokyo - It starts from a calico stray cat, she knows and experiences every thing happened in this city. 
A homeless guy who used to be a successful man with a happy family. Things changed, he could only made a living by being a ragpicker. That’s when he met the calico cat, a young man who worked in convenient store, homeless pals, and story began.

After reading this book, I was a little shocked and speechless. I absolutely love this book! But I don't know how to start my review. I also like Nick Bradley’s writing style. I’m not sure if this is a common Japanese narrative style to tell a story. Because it’s kind of like the book ”noel” I read before, except ” the cat and the city” is way more sophisticated and richer, and characters intersect in every stories.
Each person's story is independent but related
It's hard to describe my feeling! I recommend everyone to give it a try.

Anyone who already finished could discus with me.
I’m still not sure what the ants mean.
As far as I understand, are they represent someone who complain and judge everything, also being arrogant ? Like trolls who live and criticize on the other side of screen. 
In the story, they ended up being eroded by more and more ants (the dark side of the heart & the habit of seeing nothing good)
Detective Ishikawa got a flyer saying “Don’t be an ant.” Does it mean that he turned back in time from the edge of becoming an ant?

書名 : 貓與城市

作者 : 尼克‧布拉德利

評分 : 8/10


在東京,有一隻花斑流浪貓,
牠像是把整個城市背在身上
了解這座城市裡發生的事情
故事從一個名叫健太郎的男人開始說起…..
他成為遊民之前、期間、之後
以及所有與他有關係的人們
都錯綜複雜的彼此影響

看完這本書後,有點震驚到說不出話來
我絕對是喜歡這本書的
只是不知道要怎麼開始寫心得
作者的敘事手法個人很喜歡
有點像耶誕節那本
但又複雜多了而且內容更豐富
因為這本裡多了更多角色
他們之間的關係在各自的故事中都顯現出來
每個人的故事獨立但又相關
好難形容阿!!! 推薦大家去看看

?
說一下還不懂的地方
還是不太確定螞蟻族代表什麼意思
就我理解來說,像是只會抱怨的人嗎?
就像活在螢幕另一端批評的酸民
最終被越來越多螞蟻侵蝕(內心的黑暗面&和看什麼事都不順眼的習慣)
而石川偵探遇到那位發廣告的片段
是代表著他從快要變成螞蟻的邊緣及時回頭嗎?
(拆散家庭和跟蹤不正直的人出軌證據 到
幫助別人尋找走失的家人,協助他們團圓)
