How to Travel with a Salmon is a highly engaging collection of what Umberto Eco calls his diario minimo -- minimal diaries -- after the manazine column in which he began "pursuing the pathways of parady." These essays are his playful but unfailingly accurate takes on militarism, computer jargon, Westerns, art criticism, librarians, bureaucrats, meals on airplanes, Amtrak trains, bad coffee, maniacal taxi drivers, express mail, multi-function watches, fax machines and cellular phones, pornography, soccer fans, academia, and -- last but definitely not least -- the authors' own self.
How to Travel with a Salmon gives us Eco's acute vision of the absurdities of modern life.

《温莎墓园日记》是木心的小说选集。
经过年近八十的作者手订,小说集删去了原来繁体字版《出猎》一小节,把“我”隐得更深,实际上是更耐人琢磨了。《美国喜剧》《一车十八人》《夏明珠》《两个小人在打架》《SOS》《完美的女友》《七日之粮》《芳芳NO.4》《魔轮》等,每一篇都在尝试新的视角,“从彼岸回来的人”,原来是这么了解人世的酸楚,生活没有“退息”,他对此岸洞若观火。
1982年,已过知天命之龄的木心离开中国,旅居美国纽约。到了国外后,他决意把主要精力放在写作上,自1984年至今,木心已出版了繁体字版多本散文、诗集和小说,颇负时誉。木心自己提了一个说法,他是"文学不明飞行物"。木心也是文体家,作品不重复自己,用字非常讲究,标点也讲究。
