读过《Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
一个我可以说是完全不懂的话题：video games，但是写得还怪有意思的，很抓人，喜欢去想象他们制作的游戏，作者塑造的三个主角形象很活，一些不太提及的边缘人物（残疾人、亚裔、男性主导产业的女性），他们的问题、梦想和彼此间的关系都处理得不错，甚至Sam和Sadie之间的感觉，我读出了一点queer platonic relationship的感觉（Sam这个处理是ace吗？）但是！但是杀了Marx的理由是什么？我不要我不服我不依！Marx POV的那一章叫NPC就真的……作者你好狠的心

Let the games begin!
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry--a glorious and immersive novel about two childhood friends, once estranged, who reunite as adults to create video games, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives.
On a bitter cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: A legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. They borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo a game where players can escape the confines of a body and the betrayals of a heart, and where death means nothing more than a chance to restart and play again. This is the story of the perfect worlds Sam and Sadie build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
Spanning over thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, games as artform, technology and the human experience, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.
