刊于《经济观察报》书评 (2012/7/3) “他把一张空白的纸放在面前的桌上,用他的笔写下这些词。”这是保罗·奥斯特在《记忆之书》中写下的开头。十几年后的一天,他收到一封来自另一位美国青年作家的信,不是索要签名,仅仅希望得到一张他用以书写下一部作品的白纸。奥斯特...
评分我喜欢奥斯卡•谢尔可。他就比我的宝贝大一点。如果可以,我希望我的孩子像他那么聪明。那么,有能力来想象无限。 奥斯卡常常在脑子里发明各种奇妙的事物。 比如,他发明了一种鸟食衬衫,这样人类在需要逃生时就可以飞了。这其实是为了他爸爸发明的。他还发明了一种像魔方一...
评分书评原作者:JOHN UPDIKE 译自《纽约客》 乔纳森·萨佛兰·福尔,生于1977年,2002年出版了令人惊讶的、滑稽的、温柔的、有着杂乱而奢华情节的小说《一切皆被照亮》(Everything Is Illuminated) 后成名。从乌克兰导游亚历山大·佩乔夫一口极有趣的、辞不达意的英文,到对一个...
评分由汤姆·汉克斯主演的“9·11”影片《特别响,非常近》于今年初上映,并入围奥斯卡两项大奖,而影片其实改编于同名小说,小说作者是1977年出生的乔纳森·萨福兰·弗尔(Jonathan Safran Foer)。就在电影《特别响,非常近》即将在今年上海电影节期间上映之际,小说中文版...
评分将《特别响,非常近》视做9•11小说,未免小瞧了它。没错,其故事源头与背景是那场惨绝人寰的悲剧,人物的痛楚与悲伤亦环绕之,但作家乔纳森•萨福兰•弗尔显然未将自己的创作拘囿于一个固定事件的限定中,他借一名孩童的寻觅之途,延展开去,探究着更具普泛性的肉身与...

Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
Grandma: I thought it wouldn't be necessary and there would be other nights. But it's always necessary. I love you, Oskar.
