评分It took me a year to finally sit down flipping through it, worth the wait though: good read, very hot sex scene, and interesting art scene at Venice as well.

A wildly original novel of erotic fulfillment and spiritual yearning. Every two years the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman-a jaded and dissolute journalist-whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Among their number is a narrator who may or may not be the Atman previously seen in Venice. Intending to visit only for a few days he ends up staying for months, and suddenly finds-or should that be loses?-a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, "the "self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that, willingly or not, he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other. Could two stories, in two different cities, actually be one and the same story? Nothing Geoff Dyer has written before is as wonderfully unbridled, as dead-on in evocation of place, longing and the possibility of neurotic enlightenment, and as irrepressibly entertaining as "Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi."""

评分Part of life is going home, the other part trying to never go home
评分邂逅:2013.6.18. SDA Spell and Bound书店; 旅程:2013.6.20.-2013.6.30.; 地点:德里各处; Don't like the way it ends and felt it kinda overrated. The capture of prevalent features of Venice and Varanasi is acrimoniously accurate, though.
评分Venice部分是一切都在上升、蒸腾,最后消失在水汽中;Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸没,最后消融在恒河中。两部分都特别喜欢,看完心情复杂但又在某种程度上是纯粹的觉悟。
