美国近年来表现最亮眼的新锐奇幻小说家。他出生于威斯康辛,大学足足念了九年,先念了化学工程后来又转念心理学,最后才以英国文学学士毕业。但在他广泛选修哲学、中世纪史、东方戏剧学、人类学、社会学等课程之中,《风之名》的雏形已逐渐形成。
《风之名》最初想要出版时却处处碰壁,直到 他将作品的部分改编成短篇参赛并获奖,让罗斯福斯有机会可以参加一个在洛杉矶举办的写作班。在写作班中他认识了著名科幻作家凯文?安德森,安德森则将自己的经纪人介绍给罗斯福斯认识;而擅长挖掘新锐小说家的美国经纪人麦特?拜勒(Matt Bialer)读到他的《风之名》初稿后,惊艳于他将奇幻和文学元素巧妙融合,立刻签下他,且不负众望推他跻身畅销的奇幻新锐作家。美国著名出版人伊丽莎白?魏赫姆(Betsy Wollheim)也夸赞:《风之名》是她在三十年的编辑生涯中看到过的最棒的处女作,罗斯福斯应该是和乔治?R.R.马丁、泰德?威廉姆斯并列的奇幻作家。

本书第一章最为精彩,一流的文笔和一流的渲染,悬念设置引人入胜,让给读者大呼过瘾。可惜随着书的进展却越来越不紧凑,尤其是很多地方明明可以设置悬念或者进入高潮的,可是作者就是不那么干,所以显得非常平铺直叙。。。 男主角有些Gary Stu的感觉,让人读着很不舒服,主要是...
评分艋舺太子凤小岳也读《风之名》?饶舌团体大嘴巴也看《风之名》?潮男歌手黄立行觉得第一集太好看,已经冲去买第二集英文版,而且也看完了!《风之名》的精采故事实在太引人入胜啦! 上周六(4/23)的苹果副刊采访了几位大明星,大家都读了《风之名》,对故事中高潮迭起的剧情都...
评分西方的奇幻文学大概对应我们的武侠小说。魔法对神功,骑士、城堡、宫廷对应侠客、名山、江湖。巫师对高僧,术士对老道。 现代奇幻始于《魔戒》(作者为语言学教授),精力集中在建立架空世界,制造虚构语言,将传统的英雄史诗尽量合理的融入到架空世界之中。故事宏大精致但老套...
评分“它如秋季的尾声一般深沉广博,同河中光滑的巨石一样沉厚凝重。那是种充满耐心的声音,好似瓶中残花所发出的的静谧咏叹,来自于一个等待死亡的男人“,这是第二日序曲中的一段刚柔并济的译文,有气势也不失凄美沧桑。 第一日一结束,马不停蹄地拆下第二日的腰带,看到这段就...

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The originality of Rothfuss's outstanding debut fantasy, the first of a trilogy, lies less in its unnamed imaginary world than in its precise execution. Kvothe ("pronounced nearly the same as 'Quothe' "), the hero and villain of a thousand tales who's presumed dead, lives as the simple proprietor of the Waystone Inn under an assumed name. Prompted by a biographer called Chronicler who realizes his true identity, Kvothe starts to tell his life story. From his upbringing as an actor in his family's traveling troupe of magicians, jugglers and jesters, the Edema Ruh, to feral child on the streets of the vast port city of Tarbean, then his education at "the University," Kvothe is driven by twin imperatives—his desire to learn the higher magic of naming and his need to discover as much as possible about the Chandrian, the demons of legend who murdered his family. As absorbing on a second reading as it is on the first, this is the type of assured, rich first novel most writers can only dream of producing. The fantasy world has a new star. (Apr.)

From Booklist
Travelers to the village where Kote runs an inn are rare, but those who've shown up lately have brought bad news. A sort of demonic spider attacks a local, and then Kote rescues a wandering scholar, bringing him to the inn to recover. The man recognizes Kote as the legendary hero Kvothe and begs him to reveal the reality behind all the legends. Most of the novel is Kvothe's autobiography, that of a young genius growing up in a troupe of elite traveling players, tutored by an old arcanist, until marauders (mere marauders?) destroyed it, after which he made his way to the great university and petitioned for admission. Rothfuss skillfully handles the change of Kvothe's voice from child to youth to student, and the voice of the mature Kvothe in retrospective interjections. Hints of further adventures are strewn about in this series opener, whose one problem lies in its naturally slow, unfortunately sometimes draggy pacing. Not exactly a page-turner, but fanciers of long, intricate plots will be pleased. Frieda Murray

The time spent reading a novel is basically time spent with the characters. And what characters The Name Of The Wind contains. Controlling. Passive aggressive. Aloof. Manipulative. But the story was gripping and lovely.
评分谢谢@corbelle 推荐~ 用kindle app在手机上看的。前半部分节奏颇慢,一度搁下了好几个月,后来几乎每天都看,到尾声就有点手不释卷了。好像是作者的第一部作品?但是老练而精美。我喜欢奇幻 =v=
评分lovely stories,不过实在也是各种中二各种苏,男主角周身闪耀着兆瓦强光,连头发都是红的。这书无法谈世界观和立意之类的,也又不像儿童读物,我觉着纳尼亚、哈利波特肯定都比这货强,虽然另外两个我肯定读不下去。开始看这书全仰仗内条推荐微博,王子殿下那绝对是真爱啊噗。
