作者简介
Discursive and ruminative, more like an extended essay than a novel, the intricately structured chapters in this highly autobiographical book reveal "the writer defined by his . . . ways of seeing." Naipaul, in his own person, narrates a series of events, beginning during a period of soul-healing in Wiltshire, circling back to the day of his departure from Trinidad in 1950 when he was 18, describing his time in London before he went up to Oxford, moving back to Trinidad after his sister's death: these journeys are a metaphor for his life. With beautiful use of detail recaptured from an extraordinary memory, with exquisitely nuanced observations of the natural world and his own interior landscape, he shows how experience is transmogrified after much incertitude and paininto literature. This is a melancholy book, the testament of a man who has stoically willed himself to endure disappointment, alienation, change and grief. Naipaul lays bare the loneliness, vulnerability and anxieties of his life, the sensibility that is both an asset for the writer and a burden for the man. He demonstrates this brilliantly by describing other peoplemainly his neighbors in a village near Stonehenge. Using these characters as catalysts, Naipaul peels back protective layers of memory, sparing himself nothing, revealing the mistakes and inadequacies of his life. The drama resides in small incidents: the death of a cottager, the firing of an estate's gardener; with each account, the narrative is spun more tightly into a seamless tapestry, a powerful document by a master of his craft.

读后感
我得坦白，我没读懂这本书，虽然每一个字都认识。我也毫不怀疑奈保尔在写这篇自传（虽然书店将它归到小说一类）时的真诚，他一点也没有像那位写《XX苦旅》的人一样弄什么玄虚，但是我一直想要问一个问题：他抵达到哪儿了呢？ 也许我应该给那个神情冷峻的老头发封EMAIL，问问他...
评分V.S.奈保尔是一位著述丰厚的作家。《抵达之谜》并不是他最重要的作品，但却是有着独特地位的作品。 奈保尔被人称为“无根的作家”，而《抵达之谜》恰恰记载了奈保尔“寻根”的心迹。文学评论家弗兰克•克默德说，《抵达之谜》蕴藏了奈保尔对他居于其间的威尔特郡的...

评分奈保尔暂居索尔兹伯里山谷的那段岁月，给人留下深刻印象。不同于美国西部的狂野和地中海沿岸的明媚，英国内陆的标志是充斥着凄风苦雨的荒原。《抵达之谜》更明确了这种印象：阴冷的天气、高大的山毛榉、消失的玫瑰花。迷离的气候，也给这片英国荒野平添了神秘的情调。 书里都...
评分“但这个久违的人受到了摧残。老妇般的脸是一个无药可救的人的脸。虽然他拒绝了我奉上的一杯酒（我的无意之举，我完全不知道他的近况），但坚持我该喝一杯，他谦谦有礼，反客为主。他过于明显的痊愈和其他凶险的疾病一样，只是暂时的缓解，让他再看一看他将离开的世界，让他道...
