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.

评分读保罗·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...
评分很久没有这么痛快淋漓地读一本书了。可能是因为那天蓄谋已久又突如其来的一场大雨，可能是因为一年后重新花一个下午慢慢喝英式下午茶，可能是像译者孔亚蕾这样于一个悠长绵延的循环中看了这样一个悠长绵延又激荡的故事。他在翻译的开始和结尾，跨越一年，见的是同一个女人。我...

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。
