具体描述
A wildly original novel of erotic fulfillment and spiritual yearning. Every two years the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman-a jaded and dissolute journalist-whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Among their number is a narrator who may or may not be the Atman previously seen in Venice. Intending to visit only for a few days he ends up staying for months, and suddenly finds-or should that be loses?-a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, "the "self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that, willingly or not, he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other. Could two stories, in two different cities, actually be one and the same story? Nothing Geoff Dyer has written before is as wonderfully unbridled, as dead-on in evocation of place, longing and the possibility of neurotic enlightenment, and as irrepressibly entertaining as "Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi."""

评分It took me a year to finally sit down flipping through it, worth the wait though: good read, very hot sex scene, and interesting art scene at Venice as well.

评分前前后后断断续续好像看了两个月。最开始面对着一大堆无比纠结的意大利式的ZB艺术词汇头痛。忍到后来看到熟悉的印度描写，那些rickshaw，那些temple，那些恼人的pestering。很崇拜作者可以以如此幽默以及哲学式的语言写这本书。虽然看到后来愈发地觉得他多多少少在调戏印度的神...

The New Yorker book club 5月的選書就是這本. 喜歡Dyer的語言, 不喜歡主人公Jeff......
评分邂逅：2013.6.18. SDA Spell and Bound书店； 旅程：2013.6.20.-2013.6.30.; 地点：德里各处； Don't like the way it ends and felt it kinda overrated. The capture of prevalent features of Venice and Varanasi is acrimoniously accurate, though.
评分Venice部分是一切都在上升、蒸腾，最后消失在水汽中；Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸没，最后消融在恒河中。两部分都特别喜欢，看完心情复杂但又在某种程度上是纯粹的觉悟。
