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.

评分很久没有这么痛快淋漓地读一本书了。可能是因为那天蓄谋已久又突如其来的一场大雨,可能是因为一年后重新花一个下午慢慢喝英式下午茶,可能是像译者孔亚蕾这样于一个悠长绵延的循环中看了这样一个悠长绵延又激荡的故事。他在翻译的开始和结尾,跨越一年,见的是同一个女人。我...
评分不爱起题目,只是谈一下感受。 或许是一种因缘际会,在临睡之前拿起这本书,其实我只是把它和另外一本题目类似的悬疑小说搞混了,感谢上帝,还好混了。 保罗.奥斯特于我是一种全新但又熟悉的体验,他的文字有着一种令我目眩的感情密度,每一个字都可以直接追溯到作者所要表达...
评分我第一次接触奥斯特不是从他那些广为人知的畅销作品,而是《红色笔记本》这么一本薄薄的小书。接着是《布鲁克林的荒唐事》、《神谕之夜》,然后就是今天看完的《幻影书》。这一系列阅读是一个渐入佳境的过程。 当然我并不是说这几本书的高下优劣也是一个渐进的顺序,它们一样都...
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
评分他只陈述,不评论,但让你觉得喘不过气来。。一串精致而又超现实的故事。
评分Guess what, the thing push us to die and the thing push us to live is same

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。
