Paul Benjamin Auster (born February 3, 1947, Newark, New Jersey) is a Brooklyn-based author known for works blending absurdism and crime fiction, such as The New York Trilogy (1987), Moon Palace (1989) and The Brooklyn Follies (2005).
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.
读保罗·奥斯特的书像是走入镜面迷宫,兜着圈子,然后发现无数个自己。 最近巧合地正在思考类似的问题,因此幻影书开头和结尾处的摘句深得我心。 “人不只有一次生命。人会活很多次,周而复始,那便是人生之所以悲惨的原因。” 我曾认为,人生中悲痛的莫过于失去挚爱,书中主...

评分延长的高潮、真空、勘误及自作聪明的编辑 荷马用好几十行的诗句来延缓保鲜欧鲁克蕾亚从腿上那块疤认出远出归来的奥德修斯给我们带来的兴奋。他狡狤地插入对伤疤来历的描述,那是年少的奥德修斯去看望外祖父奥托鲁科斯时在一次狩猎中受的伤。直到他认为可以松开捏紧了我们的心...
评分上世纪的二0年代,似乎,曾经出现过,一位年轻俊朗、才气横溢、名字叫做海特默恩的默片演员,他那传奇而悲凉的一生,就像《金刚经》所说,如梦幻泡影,如露亦如电….我之所以说“曾经出现过”,那是因为这位默片演员留下十多部喜剧短片、以及几篇内容相互矛盾的采访新闻后,便...

评分如果不是那个结尾,完全可以打5星。不过也许没有人能完美地结束,因为世界本是如此。
