Iris Murdoch's debut--a comic novel about work and love, wealth and fame Jake Donaghue, garrulous artist, meets Hugo Bellfounder, silent philosopher. Jake, hack writer and sponger, now penniless flat-hunter, seeks out an old girlfriend, Anna Quentin, and her glamorous actress sister, Sadie. He resumes acquaintance with the formidable Hugo, whose 'philosophy' he once presumptuously dared to interpret. These meetings involve Jake and his eccentric servant-companion, Finn, in a series of adventures that include the kidnapping of a film-star dog and a political riot on a film set of ancient Rome. Jake, fascinated, longs to learn Hugo's secret. Perhaps Hugo's secret is Hugo himself? Admonished, enlightened, Jake hopes at last to become a real writer.
Iris Murdoch (1919-1999) was born in Dublin and brought up in London. She studied philosophy at Cambridge and was a philosophy fellow at St. Anne's College for 20 years. She published her first novel in 1954 and was instantly recognized as a major talent. She went on to publish more than 26 novels, as well as works of philosophy, plays, and poetry.

4 完全不像是女作傢寫的小說(褒義),巴黎那章寫我看著橋上的安娜看著天上的煙火很浪漫又悲傷,最後夜闖醫院的對談既荒誕又空虛。人物塑造有點太流於象徵性功能,Hugo和Anna都是作者刺穿「我」作為戰後迷失一代的頹廢理想主義者的縹緲幻想的工具
评分感覺相當蓋裏奇,嗯,除瞭結尾
评分感覺現在的自己就好像書中所寫的主人公一樣
评分好有味道的人物描寫
