In this haunting, richly woven novel of modern life in Japan, the author of the acclaimed debut One for Sorrow explores the ties that bind humanity across the deepest divides. Here is a Murakamiesque jewel box of intertwined narratives in which the lives of several strangers are gently linked through love, loss, and fate.
On a train filled with quietly sleeping passengers, a young man’s life is forever altered when he is miraculously seen by a blind man. In a quiet town an American teacher who has lost her Japanese lover to death begins to lose her own self. On a remote road amid fallow rice fields, four young friends carefully take their own lives—and in that moment they become almost as one. In a small village a disaffected American teenager stranded in a strange land discovers compassion after an encounter with an enigmatic red fox, and in Tokyo a girl named Love learns the deepest lessons about its true meaning from a coma patient lost in dreams of an affair gone wrong.
From the neon colors of Tokyo, with its game centers and karaoke bars, to the bamboo groves and hidden shrines of the countryside, these souls and others mingle, revealing a profound tale of connection—uncovering the love we share without knowing.
Exquisitely perceptive and deeply affecting, Barzak’s artful storytelling deftly illuminates the inner lives of those attempting to find—or lose—themselves in an often incomprehensible world.

實話實說,買這本書完全就是因為它是09年星雲奬長篇作品的候選。一直以為這本書也許是Slipstream風格的典範,想象中,一直以為Christopher Barzak是和保羅.奧斯特、喬納森.勒瑟姆、大衛.米切爾或者喬納森.卡羅爾之類那種有著著強大氣場的作傢。這本書是Barzak的第二部長篇作品...

圖書標籤:
全書寫得相當白話,美國人寫的一係列發生在日本的故事。劇情架構是多故事層疊類似大衛.米切爾的《幽靈代筆》。盡管是09年星雲奬長篇候選,但是絲毫沒看齣來這部小說有能入選星雲奬(就算僅僅是提名)的氣質和氣場。故事中的幻想元素也談不上多豐富,更像是日本人筆下的那種都市怪誕,甚至連那種妖艷和充滿幻想效果的調調都沒有。不過文字背後所滲透齣關於偌大城市中人與人之間的疏離和寂寞,以及那種鋼筋混凝土背後的冷峻,不得不讓人感嘆。也許每個人終究是寂寞的,如同在城市——他們有著屬於自己的故事,那些深深植根於資深成長經曆的綫索在寂寞的大背景下有一天突然變得閃亮而一發不可收拾,那種驚鴻一瞥的絢爛實際上更像是故事中那些寂寞的人的墓誌銘。終來終去,無人悼念,有的隻是蒼涼的背景和文字。書名《秘愛》大概說的就是這個意思。以上。
