内容简介

“你们不是被教育了，是被驯化了。”

这是由1993年智利落考生“我”精心编写，献给老师的一份另类语言水平测试题。在试题5种类型99道选择题里，“我”从出题者角度出发，试图考察“做题者”对“正确答案”的认知水平。《生日》《二百二十三》《家人》，失去乳房的女人的故事，电梯情事和双胞胎考试舞弊的故事……在编写中，作者巧妙融入了24种词语组合游戏、17种句子组合游戏、22篇超短篇和3篇短篇小说，以严肃、真诚而不乏戏谑的行文风格，试图探讨智利长久以来存在的历史、政治、教育问题，以及当代社会人与人之间亲密关系的脆弱与珍贵。

Reader, your life is full of choices. Some will bring you joy and others will bring you heartache. Will you choose to cheat (in life, the examination that follows) or will you choose to copy? Will you fall in love? If so, will you remember her name and the number of freckles on her back? Will you marry, divorce, annul? Will you leave your run-down neighbourhood, your long-suffering country and your family? Will you honour your dead, those you loved and those you didn't? Will you have a child, will you regret it? Will you tell them you regret it? Will you, when all's said and done, deserve a kick in the balls? Will you find, here, in this slender book, fictions that entertain and puzzle you? Fictions that reflect yourself back to you? Will you find yourself? Relax, concentrate, dispel any anxious thoughts.

Let the world around you settle and fade. Are you ready? Now turn over your papers, and begin.
