无论作者,还是译者,还是出版者,如果读过法国作家马拉-埃梅《作家马尔丹》或者我的《岛与城》的上部《孤岛》,不至于认为这部作品构思的神奇、有趣了。作者没有读过我的《岛与城》是可以肯定的,但无法肯定他没读过《作家马尔丹》。马拉-埃梅是短篇怪才,但却写过《变貌记》...
评分 评分事先声明,这不是一本悬疑小说,婚姻、家庭、责任不是这个故事的主线。这不是《消失的爱人》。这是一篇天马行空的童话改写。 《蓝胡子》这则童话大概人人都听过,它讲的是一个“好奇害死猫”的故事:一位长着蓝色胡须的绅士,警告自己的新婚妻子千万不要进入家中的密室。然而,...
评分小说开端两位男女约翰•福克斯和玛丽•福克丝的重逢,相互间的嬉戏打闹,让读者感受到夫妻间或是情人间的爱意。也对这部图书产生了阅读的兴趣,到底是咋样的情人呢?还有,这对男女的姓名是如此有趣地相似,这算是作者有意如此的设置么?双关语,以体现出他们之间的微妙关...
评分这是一本像《爱丽丝梦游仙境》一样有趣的小说。它不是人们所喜欢的那种传统鬼怪悬疑故事,却偏偏又充斥了狐狸先生、灵感女神的魔幻色彩。看了这本《不存在的情人》,我总有种稀奇古怪的感觉,字里行文间那种英伦风的黑色幽默让人耳目一新。所以我更倾向于这是一篇天马行空的成...

Fairy-tale romances end with a wedding, and the fairy tales don't get complicated. In this book, the celebrated writer Mr. Fox can't stop himself from killing off the heroines of his novels, and neither can his wife, Daphne. It's not until Mary, his muse, comes to life and transforms him from author into subject that his story begins to unfold differently.
Mary challenges Mr. Fox to join her in stories of their own devising; and in different times and places, the two of them seek each other, find each other, thwart each other, and try to stay together, even when the roles they inhabit seem to forbid it. Their adventures twist the fairy tale into nine variations, exploding and teasing conventions of genre and romance, and each iteration explores the fears that come with accepting a lifelong bond. Meanwhile, Daphne becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair, and finds her way into Mary and Mr. Fox's game. And so Mr. Fox is offered a choice: Will it be a life with the girl of his dreams, or a life with an all-too-real woman who delights him more than he cares to admit?
The extraordinarily gifted Helen Oyeyemi has written a love story like no other. Mr. Fox is a magical book, endlessly inventive, as witty and charming as it is profound in its truths about how we learn to be with one another.
