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
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...
评分以前没有接触过奈保尔的作品，初看这本《抵达之谜》，被扉页上的推荐吸引“他远离尘嚣，栖 居在英国的一座乡村庄园。回忆这段宁静单纯的岁月，他写下了平凡生活中被忽视或遗忘的人和事。。”于是以为是一本充满了田园风光的乡居生活的书，有四季交迭变更的美景，有乡野的宁静和...
评分我无法言明为什么如此喜欢这本书，是因为清透的文字，是因为隐居乡间的宁静，还是因为漂泊的异乡人的孤独和焦虑，或者我也从花匠从那些体力劳动者的身上，领悟到了什么。又或者，跟随奈保尔的文学之眼，我在一种沉思忧伤的氛围中，回望了我自己的旅程，以及我的抵达之谜。 叙...
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...
评分许久没有读到这么精美的文字了.每当发现自己仍然喜欢这类东西,就有种很哀伤的感触:我生活的很粗糙,很底层,我不知道自己还能有多少财力和精力继续沉湎于这类文字里. 虽然,虽然,奈保尔写的也是一副粗糙的精美之梦,一个底层的"祖上也阔过"的幻境. 或许只因为他说过一个词: 永恒的...
