具体描述
Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, “Folly,” tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War, “Folly” also suggests an aspiring novelist’s coming-of-age. By contrast, “Madness” is narrated by Amar, an Iraqi-American man who, on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan, is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. These two seemingly disparate stories gain resonance as their perspectives interact and overlap, with yet new implications for their relationship revealed in an unexpected coda.

读后感
孟WZ在温哥华的法庭上特意强调自己好多年没读过小说，她接下来应该有点时间。其实读小说对大多数人来说可能都比较奢侈，我并不例外，只是犹太作家菲利普·罗斯的去世才让《不对称》(Asymmetry, 2018)进入到我基本上只接纳非虚构作品的阅读兴趣中。 作为女作家Lisa Halliday的第...
评分路上读书解读： 就像以斯拉在访谈节目里暗示的那样，尽管他说的是二战，但伊拉克战争何尝不是如此呢？对远离战场的人来说，那些不曾经历过二战，那些不曾亲眼目睹过伊拉克战争的人来说，战争和它带来的伤害就像一个抽象概念。 对于美国人来说，在伊拉克发动战争如同一场游戏，...

用户评价
虽然都是讨论各种不对称性，但两个故事的硬性组合，读来还是会因为缺乏联系而充满一种有些异样的对冲，或许这是被设计的结构感？
评分故事讲述的方式很独特，但是没有一种沉溺其中的淋漓尽至。
评分很精巧的结构，尖锐的观点——“War is God‘s way of teaching Americans geology.” 然而第二部分的确没有一、三写得好。
评分去年很hyped的一本书，文字还比较流畅，但是内容的组织不敢恭维。也许因为实在想找到第二和第一部分的联系，所以带着悬念一口气读完。不能不说觉得这本和几年前的Fates and Furies一样，都是捧出来的
