Javier Marías was born in Madrid. His father was the philosopher Julián Marías, who was briefly imprisoned and then banned from teaching for opposing Franco. Parts of his childhood were spent in the United States, where his father taught at various institutions, including Yale University and Wellesley College. His mother died when Javier was 26 years old. He was educated at the Colegio Estudio in Madrid.
Marías began writing in earnest at an early age. "The Life and Death of Marcelino Iturriaga", one of the short stories in While the Women are Sleeping (2010), was written when he was just 14. He wrote his first novel, Los dominios del lobo (The Dominions of the Wolf), at age 17, after running away to Paris.
Marías operates a small publishing house under the name of Reino de Redonda. He also writes a weekly column in El País. An English version of his column "La Zona Fantasma" is published in the monthly magazine The Believer.
A Heart so White begins as, In the middle of a family lunch Teresa, just married, goes to the bathroom, unbuttons her blouse and shoots herself in the heart. What made her kill herself immediately after her honeymoon? Years later, this mystery fascinates the young newlywed Juan, whose father was married to Teresa before he married Juan's mother. As Juan edges closer to the truth, he begins to question his own relationships, and whether he really wants to know what happened. Haunting and unsettling, A Heart So White is a breathtaking portrayal of two generations, two marriages, the relentless power of the past and the terrible price of knowledge.

概念層麵很深,到中半段有些覺得這種自我哲思太冗長瞭點。整體還是上乘之作~
評分絕對震撼的閱讀體驗!當代作傢當中少有像作者這樣敢用Henry James和Marcel Proust的筆法寫小說,還能讓讀者樂意往下讀的。開篇第一場從內容上已經吊足瞭我的胃口,從文風上來說既嚇人又讓我幾乎遭遇一種文體上的休剋:整個場景描寫隻講瞭一件事,而且是個長達6頁的完整段落!熟悉這種grand style之後開始體會到這種長句的好處(雖然也會讓人生畏):作者充分利用圓周句的結構和長句能夠容納的空間,不僅強迫讀者放慢閱讀速度,更加進去一些看似跑題的哲理性思考。我們結婚前後有什麼不同?攝像機的齣現如何影響我們的記憶?語言有什麼力量?知道與不知道一件事有什麼後果?這些思考再加上小說中另外幾對看似無關的人物,慢慢將整個故事連在一起,最後40頁的能量十分驚人。讀完纔明白高超的敘事下不會有乏味的細節
