“题目借取于《诗经·卷耳》，原意是那些行军在外的男人只能依靠饮酒来摆脱思念亲人的痛苦。到了这本书里意思变为：只有把这件事写下来，才不至于永远地伤怀。十几个不同性格的人物依次走进小说之中，前后跨度为三十余年，或许还会再久一些。显然一桩命案的发生使第二十年成为本书时间的核心。整部长篇被肢解为五个不同文体的中篇。这样写可以由您所好来选择翻开此书先读哪一部。如果您对情节性强的故事感兴趣，小说的第四都将向您讲述三种让人心酸的爱情；结构纷杂叙述转换稍显频繁的第三部会给您带来领悟小说技巧和体验阅读快感的乐趣；要是您更偏爱侦探小说， 当然可以先去阅读第二部的一至十；第二部的1－10应该会给您一种伦理道德上的震撼；然而首先阅读第一部则基于一个不可剥夺的理由，因为这是您了解《维以不永伤》，全貌的入口。”
