THE AUTOGRAPH MAN: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 01200006B00951
English Summary/英文概要: Alex-Li Tandem sells autographs. He hunts for names on paper in a huge network of desire, collecting them, selling them and occasionally faking them; offering people a little piece of fame. But what does Alex want? Only the return of his father ,the reinstatement of some kind of all-powerful,benevolent God-type figure,the end of religion,something for his headache,three different girls,infinite grace ,and rare autograph of forties movie actress Kitty Alexander.With fries.
The Autograph Man is a deeply funny existential tour around the hollow things of modenity :
celebrity ,cinema ,and the ugly triumph of symbol
over experience.Through London and then New York,
searching for the only autograph that has mattered
to him,Alex follows the paper trail while
resisting the mystical lure of Kabbalah and Zen,and avoiding all collectors,con men, and interfering rabbis who put themselves in his path.
Pushing against the tide of his generation,Alex-li
is on his way to finding enlightenment,otherwise known as some part of himself that cannot be designed ,celebrated,or sold.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 李 艾力克斯 泰旦姆是靠卖题名为生的。他常常有目的地在浩瀚的网络世界搜寻信息,他总是在寻找报纸各种姓名,收集这些姓名,并且将这些名字卖出去,有的时候也会伪造姓名,这就是他的全部工作,他做这一切都是为了给予人们想要的东西:一点虚荣心。但是艾力克斯需要什么呢?他仅仅是希望他的父亲能够回来,艾力克斯的父亲是一个极有能力的,就象是上帝般和蔼慈祥的一个好人。现在,令他感到头疼的和倍受煎熬的是三个拥有无限魅力但是有不同的女孩以及来自四十年代著名电影女演员凯帝 亚历山大的罕见题名的复原。
《做题名生意的人》记录了在一次极有趣的旅行中的所见所感,采用现实主义的手法,揭露了现代一些无聊又空洞的事情,包括名人,电影院,以及成功背后的某些黑暗事件。艾力克斯穿梭于伦敦和纽约之间,只是为了寻找和他的工作有关的那个罕见的题名。艾力克斯按照自己的方式来做题名,抵制了喇嘛教和禅宗对他的诱惑,避免接触所有的收藏家及骗子,同时对于干涉他工作的犹太教教士的行为予以坚决的抵制,他反抗那些一次又一次阻挡他前进的行为。他要从自己所走的道路得到启发,否则他就不能设计和销售题名,而那已经是他生命的一个部分。
