喬納森•薩福蘭•弗爾(Jonathan Safran Foer),1977年齣生於美國華盛頓,曾獲得普林斯頓(Princeton)大學的論文創作奬。大學畢業後,他曾做過停屍間助手、珠寶銷售員、牧場臨時看管員、以及捉刀寫手。他的短篇小說曾在《巴黎評論》和《關聯雜誌》上發錶,並於2000年榮獲西洋鏡小說奬。
With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man - also named Jonathan Safran Foer - sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.
As their adventure unfolds, Jonathan imagines the history of his grandfather's village, conjuring a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. Lit by passion, fear, guilt, memory, and hope, the characters in Everything Is Illuminated mine the black holes of history. As the search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, until reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power.
An arresting blend of high comedy and great tragedy, this is a story about searching for people and places that no longer exist, for the hidden truths that haunt every family, and for the delicate but necessary tales that link past and future. Exuberant and wise, hysterically funny and deeply moving, EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED is an astonishing debut.

如果把一本書比喻成為一個迷宮,一般的作者隻能設計一條通道,而成熟老辣的作者可以設計三條通道,到最後,這三條通道還會殊途同歸,交匯於迷宮的終點,叫人拍案叫絕。 喬納森·薩福蘭·弗爾雖然年輕,作品不多,但已經是一位老辣的作者。在《瞭瞭》這部小說中,他設計瞭三條...
評分關於喬納森,本來瞭解不多. 這本書還好,用很幽默的語言說一個其實很悲哀的故事. 蹩腳的翻譯.其實不是我們想的那樣.
評分也許我該以霍比特人主演的同名電影做個引子,所以我決定寫完以下的隨筆馬上看起來。這樣多少也像個引子瞭,你看如何? 1 從太空中,航天員可以看到人們做愛,如同一個個微小的光點。事實上,那並不是真正的光,而是一種會被誤認為光的光芒——那是性交的光輝,曆經好幾個世...
評分我看的都是一些很老的書,齣版年數以十的倍數計的書,原因很簡單——我沒有太多時間看書,隻好盡量保證自己看的每一本書都值得一讀。我需要人們的口碑加上時光的清洗,清洗過後的沉澱會告訴我什麼是什麼、和什麼。這樣做當然絕非萬無一失,但是比較保險。畢竟這世上好書的數量...
評分首先要說的是整體書的認真製作,從封麵、裝幀、版式,到能夠還原原文中詼諧氣息的翻譯,都透著誠意。 這本書,真的是當下難能可貴的一本書,筆法是與眾不同的“無厘頭”,我讀的時候常常一個人捧腹大笑。 關於主題,已經有太多人介紹和評議瞭,我也就不贅述瞭。隻是希望更多人...

在烏剋蘭讀完瞭這本發生在烏剋蘭的書。有些部分非常好讀,輕鬆有趣。某些地方十分晦澀充滿奇幻色彩。堅持讀到60頁左右的時候慢慢開朗起來,然後突然發現這實在是一個太悲傷的故事瞭。
評分看他的第一本書。
評分哪裏有中文的搞來看
評分Does it need to be so tangled and sad? After all Fiction is not my cup of tea, although I somehow liked this same author’s later work - “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”.
