著者簡介
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.

評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...
評分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...
