Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass and cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it's the beginning of their life together. That same day, Vincent's half-brother, Paul, scrawls a note on the windowed wall of the hotel: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune Logistics, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of the Neptune Cumberland. Weaving together the lives of these characters, The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the wilderness of northern Vancouver Island, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
画面感太好了,很多桢都有沉浸式体验,仿佛我就在人物之中… 剪短发,玻璃上的涂鸦,碎纸,抛家,每个场面都可以轻松脑补,很特别的文风~ (btw 作者美...)
评分慕着作者的名去的。没有她的那本Station Eleven好看。悬疑感觉有点牵强,但是画面感不错,拍成电影吧。

评分感觉作者风格不适合我,好多地方没看懂。人物行为逻辑摸不着头脑,场景也难以想象,悬疑点也不是我想看的,还时不时夹几个超奇怪的生词,比如我印象深刻有个doppelgängers(应该是重影的意思)希望影视改编能好好做吧
评分今年读过最好的一本书了!其中一个原因可能是小说里的城市我比较熟悉。读完可以配合听一听nerdette这个podcast里讲这本书的那集,解析的太到位了!她们讲的我最喜欢的一段是解析作者那句人们只喜欢从高级酒店的玻璃窗看到自然的美景,并不喜欢身处wild nature之中。这本书的关键词大概就是偷窃(Alkaitis 庞氏骗局,Paul偷Vincent的录像,Vincent妈妈“偷走”Paul爸爸...)和 纵容 (Alkaitis 17楼的员工,明知骗局还是参与的investors,当然还有Vincent)吧。
