具体描述
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.

读后感
刚读完了保罗·奥斯特的《幻影书》（谢谢陈雷MM送给我的书），两天两夜时间，读了两遍，在我的读书历史上比较少见。 作为小说，它并不是没有缺陷的，它最大的缺陷就是太好看了。如果以小说的价值来排列的话，目前看到的三本奥斯特小说，可以排列如下，《幻影书》<《纽约三部...

评分在《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》中，爱丽丝被告知自己只是睡着了的“红国王”梦里的“一种东西”，红国王一旦醒来，爱丽丝就会像蜡烛一样“砰”的灭掉，这令爱丽丝很焦虑，可是同样认为自己在别人梦中的特维雷顿却并不在乎所谓“消失”。 活佛宗萨蒋扬钦哲仁波切在演讲中有如下的开示...
评分小说故事很简单，也很老套。一个有名的喜剧演员海克特，随着默片时代的逝去，莫名其妙地消失了，几十年后，又突然神秘出现在主人公的视野。在解谜的过程中，作者借海克特侄女阿尔玛之口，在小说里塞进了三角恋、谋杀、性交表演、抢劫银行、救美、巨款从天而降、世外桃源的艺术...
