为什么值得读
- 耗费大量篇幅极尽细致地描摹日常微小器物
- 生动捕捉脑海中天马行空的漫长心理独白
- 奇妙地呈现出主观时间感知的拉伸与相对性
尽管《The Mezzanine》的大部分情节仅发生在一栋写字楼的自动扶梯上——叙述者在买完鞋带后正乘扶梯返回办公室——但这部极具创意与智慧的小说所触及的深度和广度远超当今多数虚构作品。它赋予了牛奶纸盒如同 Marcel Proust 笔下玛德莲蛋糕般丰富的联想。它列出了人类生命中最重要的八大进步——以系鞋带为开端。它探讨了卫生间的热风干手机是否真的比毛巾更卫生。同时，它以炫目的笔触照亮了我们与那些习以为常的物品与人之间的关系

如果是细节控，我推荐尼克尔森·贝克（Nicholson Baker）的《中场休息》（The Mezzanine）[0]。如果我没记错的话，他花了整整好几页去描写拎在手里的棕色纸袋卷边的触感。0: https://www.amazon.com/Mezzanine-Nicholson-Baker/dp/08021449...
For fans of extreme detail, I'd recommend The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker[0]. Iirc, he devoted several pages to the feeling of the curls of a brown paper bag carried in his hand. 0: https://www.amazon.com/Mezzanine-Nicholson-Baker/dp/08021449...
尼克尔森·贝克的《中场休息》。讲的是一个人午休时下楼买鞋带和一块饼干，但整个故事塞满了对身边物件以及叙述者脑内想象的极其疯狂的细节描写……
The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker A man goes out to buy shoelaces and a cookie during his lunch break, but the story is packed with insane levels of detail about the objects around us and the narrator's imagination…
尼克尔森·贝克的《中场休息》和唐·德里罗的《白噪音》
"The Mezzanine" by Nicholson Baker and "White Noise" by Don DeLillo
尼克尔森·贝克在《中场休息》里有一大段关于“擦手纸 vs 烘手机”的内心独白。把各种可能存在的观点总结得相当到位。
Nicholson Baker in Mezzanine has a long internal monologue about paper towels vs hand dryers. A good summary of the different opinions that are possible.
你会喜欢尼克尔森·贝克的书《中场休息》，还有伊恩·麦克尤恩的书《时间中的孩子》。两本书都把主观时间相对性这一现象抓得极准。麦克尤恩那本看得直戳心窝。如果你还没读过，我跪求你……
You will love Nicholson Baker's book "The Mezzanine", and Ian McEwan's book "The Child in Time". Both capture this phenomenon of the relativity of perceived time wonderfully. McEwan's book will just eat at your heart. If you haven't read it I implore…
尼克尔森·贝克的《中场休息》是一部绝妙的小说，讲的是一个打工人离开工位，坐自动扶梯下楼去买鞋带和饼干的故事。
Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine is a terrific novel about a guy who leaves his desk to ride down an escalator to buy shoelaces and a cookie.
