Until I Find You 在线电子书 图书描述

Until I Find You is the story of the actor Jack Burns – his life, loves, celebrity and astonishing search for the truth about his parents.

When he is four years old, Jack travels with his mother Alice, a tattoo artist, to several North Sea ports in search of his father, William Burns. From Copenhagen to Amsterdam, William, a brilliant church organist and profligate womanizer, is always a step ahead – has always just departed in a wave of scandal, with a new tattoo somewhere on his body from a local master or “scratcher.”

Alice and Jack abandon their quest, and Jack is educated at schools in Canada and New England – including, tellingly, a girls’ school in Toronto. His real education consists of his relationships with older women – from Emma Oastler, who initiates him into erotic life, to the girls of St. Hilda’s, with whom he first appears on stage, to the abusive Mrs. Machado, whom he first meets when sent to learn wrestling at a local gym.

Too much happens in this expansive, eventful novel to possibly summarize it all. Emma and Jack move to Los Angeles, where Emma becomes a successful novelist and Jack a promising actor. A host of eccentric minor characters memorably come and go, including Jack’s hilariously confused teacher the Wurtz; Michelle Maher, the girlfriend he will never forget; and a precocious child Jack finds in the back of an Audi in a restaurant parking lot. We learn about tattoo addiction and movie cross-dressing, “sleeping in the needles” and the cure for cauliflower ears. And John Irving renders his protagonist’s unusual rise through Hollywood with the same vivid detail and range of emotions he gives to the organ music Jack hears as a child in European churches. This is an absorbing and moving book about obsession and loss, truth and storytelling, the signs we carry on us and inside us, the traces we can’t get rid of.

Jack has always lived in the shadow of his absent father. But as he grows older – and when his mother dies – he starts to doubt the portrait of his father’s character she painted for him when he was a child. This is the cue for a second journey around Europe in search of his father, from Edinburgh to Switzerland, towards a conclusion of great emotional force.

A melancholy tale of deception, Until I Find You is also a swaggering comic novel, a giant tapestry of life’s hopes. It is a masterpiece to compare with John Irving’s great novels, and restates the author’s claim to be considered the most glorious, comic, moving novelist at work today.

Until I Find You 在线电子书 读后感

美国黑色幽默文学的代表人物之一冯内古特曾在给约翰·欧文的信中这样写道:“你得到的一切荣耀,都是你应得的。有幸认识你,我很骄傲。” 冯内古特对于欧文的赞赏从来毫不吝啬,并且称他为“美国最重要的幽默作家”,而欧文自身所获得的的成就,也绝对对得起这份荣耀和赞美,他...

我们的人生故事,搭建在一个个记忆板块的铆合之中。 看似连续的完整的记忆板块,时常被错构着。 恐惧和羞耻、悲伤和愤怒,让板块的搭建次序变得不可控。 青年时,我们用合理化的瓷砖铺满外墙,让人生之塔高耸而亮丽。 及至中年,登塔而苍凉。不禁重新审视过往,惊觉塔不是塔。 ...

四岁是人类开始记忆的时间,那时的事情,我们还记得多少?当我们长大之后,想起往事,说起从前怎样怎样,是否能确信这些讲述就是事实呢? 或者,“讲故事的人可能会把其中的不同元素重新组合,以达到某种目的。总之,谈论过去的时候,我们的每一次呼吸都充满了谎言的味道”。约...
