Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
天马行空是来形容作者的文字的,至少前几章是这样的,它让我一度开始觉得是在挑战自己的智商,因为实在不知道它在说什么,但是却有种酣畅淋漓的感觉,继续往后读,相信你会体会到那种疯狂,那种内心压抑着急需用某种方式来释放的情感。 所谓物极必反,无论是痛苦还是快乐亦或任...
评分本书确实是特别响:每个人都在不停的说,说,说。祖父写给未见面儿子的信,每一篇都不分段。祖母写给奥斯卡的信,左边对齐且几乎一行一句。奥斯卡的自叙中穿插着一段段纯粹的对话。 拼图式写作:本书的三个叙述者——祖父母与奥斯卡都只写出他们所见到的部分,且祖父母的书信...
评分将《特别响,非常近》视做9•11小说,未免小瞧了它。没错,其故事源头与背景是那场惨绝人寰的悲剧,人物的痛楚与悲伤亦环绕之,但作家乔纳森•萨福兰•弗尔显然未将自己的创作拘囿于一个固定事件的限定中,他借一名孩童的寻觅之途,延展开去,探究着更具普泛性的肉身与...
评分 评分撕开《特别响,非常近》的塑料外套,随便翻翻,立刻就能发现这本书的“另类”——书中除了配有若干不怎么美观的插图,有几页只印了一句话,甚至还有一些空白页。很明显,这是一本在形式上有创新的小说。 作者乔纳森·弗尔是美国文学大师乔伊斯•卡罗尔•欧茨的高足,他的...
哭瞎的一塌糊涂。还没什么儿童视角的书可以这么打动我。心里脆弱的一面就这样被激发了。不只是911或者是德累斯顿大轰炸,更是情感的无处投递和无法交流。写作手法很棒,结局很美,当然也无比忧伤。
评分Jonathan的老师,才是真心牛。。这个电影我还没看,一定很棒。
评分玩了太多太多的trick。虽然很聪明,但是迷乱到让我读不出好坏了。
评分Jonathan Safran FOER
评分比电影好
