Set in the late 1980s, the story is written from the perspective of David Zimmer, a university professor who, after losing his wife and children in a plane crash, falls into a routine of depression and isolation. After seeing one of the silent comedies of Hector Mann, an actor missing since the 1920s, he decides to occupy himself by watching all of Mann's films and writing a book about them. The publishing of the book, however, triggers another series of events that draw Zimmer even deeper into the actor's past.
The middle of the story is largely dedicated to telling the life story of Hector Mann, involving his self-imposed exile from his past life and career, which serves as a form of penance for his role in the death of a woman who loved him. In his last days, his wife sends a letter to Zimmer, requesting him to come to their New Mexico home to bear witness to Mann's final legacy of films. The events that ensue form the overarching story of Zimmer's rehabilitation from his reclusive state, and his coming to terms with the manner in which his family was killed.

评分难怪村上春树推崇备至,果然与他风格相似,至少——村上迷读完村上后想找近似读本的话,Paul Auster的小说会比菲茨杰拉德更适合,至少对我而言是如此。 “干净利落”“美妙优雅”无疑是对《幻影书》最妥贴的评价。他比村上君更直接,不太故弄玄虚却充满转折,注重细节却...

评分不爱起题目,只是谈一下感受。 或许是一种因缘际会,在临睡之前拿起这本书,其实我只是把它和另外一本题目类似的悬疑小说搞混了,感谢上帝,还好混了。 保罗.奥斯特于我是一种全新但又熟悉的体验,他的文字有着一种令我目眩的感情密度,每一个字都可以直接追溯到作者所要表达...
