GHOSTWRITTEN

Book ID/图书代码: 03540005B03604

English Summary/英文概要: An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what connects him to a jazz buff in Tokyo? A woman on a holy mountain talks to a tree - and the tree talks back - unaware of the effect the financial irregularities of a burnt-out lawyer will have on her life. Add to this a Mongolian gangster, a redundant English spy in Petersburg with a knack for forging masterpieces, a despondent ’zookeeper’, a nuclear scientist, a ghostwriter, a ghost, and a late night New York DJ whose hard-boiled scepticism has been his undoing. All of them have tales to tell, and all must play their part as they are caught up in the inescapable forces of cause and effect.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: David Mitchell這位早熟天才小說家的處女代表作
結合了想像與現實、結構龐雜的《靈魂寫手》

David Mitchell在本書中提出了什麼是真實的?什麼是虛無的?透過九個地方,九個不同國情的人物,為我們帶來不同時空,卻又彼此相應的故事。(資料來源:上海文藝)

日本地鐵恐怖襲擊者的內心獨白;困居香港的墮落英國律師發出的瀕死哀鳴,四川聖山上的老婦人變幻莫測的一生;聖彼得堡藝術竊賊精心策劃的陰謀:女核物理學家返回愛爾蘭的旅程……在世界的九個角落,九個角色朝著一個共同的命運飛馳,全然意識不到各自的生命正以一種迷人的方式彼此交錯、互相影響。
從這部關於愛、形而上、歷史、政治和幽靈的小說中,浮現出一個有關我們共同人性的令人難以忘卻的幻象,它令眾人的故事比其本身更為微妙複雜;小說中那一幕幕平行生命的穿梭往還,充斥著人類生存的喧囂、騷動、痛苦與嚮往。 (Kate Cheng)
