Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, “Folly,” tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War, “Folly” also suggests an aspiring novelist’s coming-of-age. By contrast, “Madness” is narrated by Amar, an Iraqi-American man who, on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan, is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. These two seemingly disparate stories gain resonance as their perspectives interact and overlap, with yet new implications for their relationship revealed in an unexpected coda.

路上读书解读：就像以斯拉在访谈节目里暗示的那样，尽管他说的是二战，但伊拉克战争何尝不是如此呢？对远离战场的人来说，那些不曾经历过二战，那些不曾亲眼目睹过伊拉克战争的人来说，战争和它带来的伤害就像一个抽象概念。对于美国人来说，在伊拉克发动战争如同一场游戏，...

孟WZ在温哥华的法庭上特意强调自己好多年没读过小说，她接下来应该有点时间。其实读小说对大多数人来说可能都比较奢侈，我并不例外，只是犹太作家菲利普·罗斯的去世才让《不对称》(Asymmetry, 2018)进入到我基本上只接纳非虚构作品的阅读兴趣中。作为女作家Lisa Halliday的第...

故事講述的方式很獨特，但是沒有一種沉溺其中的淋灕盡至。

為瞭找齣第一部分和第二部分的關聯纔一路看到瞭最後…the folly part is banal, and the madness part is interesting. The third part is kitsch. 如果第二部分單獨作為一本小說並且完整和充實一點我想我會打4星，然而整本書給人以東拼西湊之感，最後也沒有讓人眼前一亮的恍然大悟之感。第一部分price tag過多宛如在讀小時代。

A slick me-too story at first glance, a perplexing 2nd act, then a revelation wrapped in 3rd act. A cerebral layered self-reflexive commentary on the power of writing, the possibility of empathy to bridge divides, the young writer penetrating the looking glass and delving into Amar's identity, losing herself, like Amar to god, Alice to Ezra.

第一部分雖然虎頭蛇尾但仍然暖心，怪老頭和高冷女的故事真是不分國籍、萬年賣點永不變。。。

去年很hyped的一本書，文字還比較流暢，但是內容的組織不敢恭維。也許因為實在想找到第二和第一部分的聯係，所以帶著懸念一口氣讀完。不能不說覺得這本和幾年前的Fates and Furies一樣，都是捧齣來的
