Diniel Wallace is the author of Big Fish, Ray in Reverse and the Watermelon King. He was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and now lives in North Carolina with his son, Henry, and his wife, Laura.
He could outrun anybody, and he never missed a day of school. Animals loved him. People loved him. Women loved him (and he loved them back). And he knew more jokes than any man alive.
Now, as he lies dying, Edward Bloom can't seem to stop telling jokes - or the tall tales that have made him, in his son's eyes, and extraordinary man. Big Fish is the story of this man's life, told as a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts his son, William, knows. Through these tales - hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous - William begins to understand Edward Bloom's great feats, and his great failings, managing to reckon with the father he's about to lose. And find a way to say goodbye.

I read this book recently and found it rather bizarre and intriguing. This isn’t the type of style I fancy, but the way the author tells the story is very refreshing. The story is about the relationship between father and son. The past and the present are ...
評分文/文小妖 “所有這些日子裏,我的父母都在慢慢變成一條魚。 我看見他遊來遊去,一條銀色的、絢麗的、閃爍的生命,然後消失在漆黑的河水深處,那是大魚們嚮往的地方。” …… 小說的結局至此,讓人忍不住淚目,到底,父親還是離開瞭。 閱讀美國作傢丹尼爾·華萊士的小說《大魚...
評分 評分通常,以親情為主題的小說都是擺明要以美好、溫暖、圓滿的結局去觸動讀者:做一個可靠、乾勁十足的男人,娶一個美麗、溫柔賢惠的妻子,養育瞭一個聰明、獨立、青齣於藍的兒子。臨終時,以自己獨特的死亡方式讓大傢理解生活的真正意義。這種典型的好萊塢“觸動模式”已非常陳舊...

波頓的電影大概是4年前看的,整個過程昏昏欲睡,直到最後父親的葬禮上看到那些故事裏的“巨人”、“巫婆”、“連體姐妹”,像兒子一樣突然理解瞭父親和他的故事。周末花5個小時兩口氣讀完瞭英文版,沒想到竟會被這麼簡單的文字拽著一直讀下去。書裏沒有波頓的夢幻,在平實中有種樸實而浪漫的憂傷:一個愛講故事而且隻講故事的男人一生的故事。"Remembering a man's stories makes him immortal. "與父親一直有隔閡的兒子最終領悟瞭父親用一生的故事想要教給他的事,送走瞭變成大魚的父親。小說是關於父親的故事,而電影改編的巧妙在於把書裏隱含的不可靠敘述者“我”拉進瞭現實的可靠敘述層麵,實的更實,虛的更虛,成為一個關於故事的故事。(影視短評的限定字數為什麼少那麼多……)

評分因為一切都是兒子的轉述和迴憶,所以不管Edward Bloom是怎樣樂觀無憂的一個人,這部書的整體氣氛仍然是兒子對父親的留戀,不捨和憂傷。那些父親曾經經曆的奇聞曆險,其實都是為瞭襯托他在臨死前不住的“我是不是一個稱職的父親”的追問
評分"The story is simple, the meaning is not.“
