At the start of this edgy and ambitiously multilayered novel, a fashion model named Charlotte Swenson emerges from a car accident in her Illinois hometown with her face so badly shattered that it takes eighty titanium screws to reassemble it. She returns to New York still beautiful but oddly unrecognizable, a virtual stranger in the world she once effortlessly occupied.
With the surreal authority of a David Lynch, Jennifer Egan threads Charlotte’s narrative with those of other casualties of our infatuation with the image. There’s a deceptively plain teenaged girl embarking on a dangerous secret life, an alcoholic private eye, and an enigmatic stranger who changes names and accents as he prepares an apocalyptic blow against American society. As these narratives inexorably converge, Look at Me becomes a coolly mesmerizing intellectual thriller of identity and imposture.

好像上以前考英語閱讀時一樣,細節單詞都知道,整體要說什麼搞不清。妙言警句層齣不窮,故事情節引人入勝,隻是在全書結尾時會忍不住說,"what's the FXXX?!"
評分大概是我看過最無聊的英文原版書,實在欣賞不來,感覺劇情進展地超慢,完全調動不瞭我看故事的期待,像大夏洛特車禍後的模特生涯,本身和作者約見那段還挺有趣的,後麵講mooth一傢真的是好無聊好無聊,個人實在欣賞不來這種。
評分敘述方式和錶現主題對我朝來說算沒新意的。。。我擦這麼講故事不免會想到搞個題記再sideA,sideB貌似一體兩麵的分述人物命運其實是騙騙人的中考一類捲,高考三類捲吧。。。
