Paul Benjamin Auster (born February 3, 1947, Newark, New Jersey) is a Brooklyn-based author known for works blending absurdism and crime fiction, such as The New York Trilogy (1987), Moon Palace (1989) and The Brooklyn Follies (2005).
Set in the late 1980s, the story is written from the perspective of David Zimmer, a university professor who, after losing his wife and children in a plane crash, falls into a routine of depression and isolation. After seeing one of the silent comedies of Hector Mann, an actor missing since the 1920s, he decides to occupy himself by watching all of Mann's films and writing a book about them. The publishing of the book, however, triggers another series of events that draw Zimmer even deeper into the actor's past.
The middle of the story is largely dedicated to telling the life story of Hector Mann, involving his self-imposed exile from his past life and career, which serves as a form of penance for his role in the death of a woman who loved him. In his last days, his wife sends a letter to Zimmer, requesting him to come to their New Mexico home to bear witness to Mann's final legacy of films. The events that ensue form the overarching story of Zimmer's rehabilitation from his reclusive state, and his coming to terms with the manner in which his family was killed.
刚读完了保罗·奥斯特的《幻影书》(谢谢陈雷MM送给我的书),两天两夜时间,读了两遍,在我的读书历史上比较少见。 作为小说,它并不是没有缺陷的,它最大的缺陷就是太好看了。如果以小说的价值来排列的话,目前看到的三本奥斯特小说,可以排列如下,《幻影书》<《纽约三部...
评分从何时起,开始喜欢illusion这个词,我喜欢把它翻译成,错觉。对待很多东西,我已经开始用置疑的眼光来看,不仅对未来,也对回忆,事情并不是发生了就不会改变,每一次我回顾过去,都有某些我曾经自以为牢固的东西松动。我把他们解释为,对现实理解的错觉。可能是从我最大的一...
评分读保罗·奥斯特的书像是走入镜面迷宫,兜着圈子,然后发现无数个自己。 最近巧合地正在思考类似的问题,因此幻影书开头和结尾处的摘句深得我心。 “人不只有一次生命。人会活很多次,周而复始,那便是人生之所以悲惨的原因。” 我曾认为,人生中悲痛的莫过于失去挚爱,书中主...
评分难怪村上春树推崇备至,果然与他风格相似,至少——村上迷读完村上后想找近似读本的话,Paul Auster的小说会比菲茨杰拉德更适合,至少对我而言是如此。 “干净利落”“美妙优雅”无疑是对《幻影书》最妥贴的评价。他比村上君更直接,不太故弄玄虚却充满转折,注重细节却...
评分小说故事很简单,也很老套。一个有名的喜剧演员海克特,随着默片时代的逝去,莫名其妙地消失了,几十年后,又突然神秘出现在主人公的视野。在解谜的过程中,作者借海克特侄女阿尔玛之口,在小说里塞进了三角恋、谋杀、性交表演、抢劫银行、救美、巨款从天而降、世外桃源的艺术...
语言优美 保罗奥斯特的英语语感和独特的叙述节奏应该来源自法语

评分如果不是那个结尾,完全可以打5星。不过也许没有人能完美地结束,因为世界本是如此。
