    • 一直等不及皇冠出版社翻譯保羅奧斯特的書就在《機緣樂章》出版之際 ,搶先閱讀2006年的作品─《藏書閣之旅》,顯然更適合老書迷的 胃口。

      這或許是保羅奧斯特檢視自己作家生涯的贖罪,幾乎所有曾經出現過在 他小說的人物主角幾乎都出場了,David Zimmer(幻影書)、Peter Stillman,Jr. and Sr.(玻璃城市)、Fanshawe(禁鎖的房間)、Samu el Farr(神諭之夜)、Marco Fogg(月宮)、Benjamin Sachs(巨獸)還有保羅奧斯特最好的朋友Daniel Quinn(玻璃城市)......

      一直等不及皇冠出版社翻譯保羅奧斯特的書就在《機緣樂章》出版之 際,搶先閱讀2006年的作品─《藏書閣之旅》,顯然更適合老書 迷的胃口。

      這或許是保羅奧斯特檢視自己作家生涯的贖罪,幾乎所有曾經出現過 在他小說的人物主角幾乎都出場了,David Zimmer(幻影書)、Peter Stillman,Jr. and Sr.(玻璃城市)、Fanshawe(禁鎖的房間)、Samu el Farr(神諭之夜)、Marco Fogg(月宮)、Benjamin Sachs(巨獸)還有保羅奧斯特最好的朋友Daniel Quinn(玻璃城市)......
      故事主角Mr.Blank(空白先生,象徵奧斯特每寫一本書,就 必須忘了先前所寫的故事)一天醒來發現他在一個房間裡,房間裝滿 攝影機錄著他的一舉一動;所有的東西都貼上所對應的名字,像是牆 壁上就貼著一張寫著「牆壁」的紙條;門是從裡面或外面鎖著,亦或 根本沒有上鎖,不得而知。Mr.Blank好像一覺醒來就會忘記 過去的事一樣,然而房間一直有人來拜訪他,從女傭、警察、醫生到 律師,同時他一直再閱讀桌上未完成的故事,到後來他接續故事.. ....
      這個房間,象徵保羅奧斯特的腦袋,Mr.Blank就是他腦內的 思想,不時需要女傭餵飽她,甚至帶有卡夫卡式的色情活動,而Mr .Blank也同樣需要睡覺,就像腦袋需要休息一樣,然而只要M r.Balnk還在房間裡窗戶緊閉,房門上鎖,故事就永遠繼續, 我們將永遠活著。
      作者又再一次成功塑造出語言文字所建構的世界(就像有一次Mr. Blank發現牆壁上貼的字條突然換成了「桌燈」),又再一次創 作了故事中有故事的情節,又再度使用我們所熟悉的角色名稱,文字 基調重回20年前的《紐約三部曲》,奧斯特並沒有忘記他們,奧斯 特創造出許多的人生,為主角們顛頗的生命道歉,直到這輕薄短小的 小說《藏書閣之旅》,我們才可以將《紐約三部曲》闔上,但故事仍 繼續......

    • Not my style
    • I read two of Paul Auster's books, this one and the Red notebook and in both instances I was quite disappointed. I find his style of writing somewhat empty and failing to engage, over descriptive and pointless. Travels in the Scriptorium is a mystery left unsolved...

    • Paul Auster的寫作功力了得.一個很簡單的故事,很簡單的場景,卻 可以像一件計畫廣大的陰謀,一步步透露出主角所發生的故事.

      整體讀來流暢卻又欲罷不能,令人期待作者的其他作品.

    • Paul Auster's worst book. I've read (and I loved) almost every one of his books so far but I'm doubting of reading de new ones.

      First impressions (expectativas): Un librito realmente corto. Me da la sensación que va ser un poco metaliteratura. Primeras páginas bien escritas, supongo que va a ser un ejercicio de estilo y que habrá que leerlo con atención y masticando las palabras. Juega a desconcertar. Lo del tío que se despierta y no se acuerda de (casi) nada está un poco visto, pero confío en Paul Auster, seguro que de interesante no baja. We'll see.

      On reading impressions: Me recuerda un poco (a muuuucha distancia) a Waiting for the Barbarians, de J.M. Coetzee, con un aire de ciencia ficción que no tengo claro si se mantendrá. Es más interesante la historia (ficticia por el momento, o ficticia dentro de la ficción) de Sigmund Graf que la de Mr. Blank. En verdad es interesante, pero no para tirar cohetes. No está siendo lo que esperaba (no metaliteratura) pero me está gustando. Sigo "in the dark", no se que va a pasar.

      After reading impressins: pues bueno, me corrijo de nuevo: si era metaliteratura. Como cuento funciona bien, me ha gustado bastante. Es uno de aquellos libros que funcionan mejor a nivel oral: está escrito para ser leído en voz alta, por su cadencia y la musicalidad de la prosa. Curioso, pelín tramposo y recomendable sólo si te gusta Paul Auster. Se lee en un plís, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

Book Description

* Mp3 CD Format *. A man pieces together clues to his past-and the identity of his captors-in this fantastic, labyrinthine novelAn old man awakens, disoriented, in an unfamiliar chamber. With no memory of who he is or how he has arrived there, he pores over the relics on the desk, examining the circumstances of his confinement and searching his own hazy mind for clues.Determining that he is locked in, the man-identified only as Mr. Blank-begins reading a manuscript he finds on the desk, the story of another prisoner, set in an alternate world the man doesn't recognize. Nevertheless, the pages seem to have been left for him, along with a haunting set of photographs. As the day passes, various characters call on the man in his cell-vaguely familiar people, some who seem to resent him for crimes he can't remember-and each brings frustrating hints of his identity and his past. All the while an overhead camera clicks and clicks, recording his movements, and a microphone records every sound in the room. Someon
