在连续读了一堆读完毫无感觉的书之后,我读了一本完全把我吞没、把我脑子搞乱的书(Mark Z. Danielewski 的《House of Leaves》)。从那以后我就定下规矩:给一本书大概50到100页的时间来吸引我,没兴趣就直接弃掉。我确实会从像“百大伟大书籍……”这样的书单里找书
After reading a string of books that basically did nothing for me, and then reading a book that completely enveloped me and messed with my head (House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski), I've made a a point of giving books about 50-100 pages to grab my attention, and then moving on if I'm not interested. I do seek out books from lists like "100 greatest books…
……这种东西是你在小说里做不到的,或者说在电影里也一样做不到。先说明一下,我这辈子最喜欢的小说是2006年出版的。而 Mark Z. Danielewski 至今仍在形式上不断创新:他的《House of Leaves》堪称经典,而那仅仅是8年前写的。但这类的作者越来越罕见了。纯散文这种形式所能挖掘的空间,比40年前还要少得多。
…stuff that you couldn't have done in a novel. Or in a movie, for that matter. Mind you, my all-time-favorite novel was published in 2006. And Mark Z Danielewski is still innovating within the form: his House of Leaves is a classic, and it was written just 8 years ago. But those writers are rarer. There's less to be done within the form of pure prose than there was even 40 years ago.
当然可以,只要不扯太远就行。《万有引力之虹》和《追忆似水年华》,这两本我还没读,而且篇幅够长,值得读纸质版。《House of Leaves》,我最喜欢的书之一,排版方式极不寻常。一本《洋葱报精华典藏》,适合打发点零碎时间时看。最后一本书叫《糖浆》(Syrup),作者是 Maxx Barry,还有……
Sure, if it's not a huge digression. Gravity's Rainbow and In Remembrance Of Things Past, which I haven't read yet and are long enough to justify print reading. House of Leaves, a favorite book of mind which has a very unusual typographic layout. A Best of The Onion encyclopedia, for reading when I have to kill a little time. The last book is called Syrup, by Maxx Barry, and…
我不是楼主,但我一年前读完了《House of Leaves》,你绝对得去读脚注以及 Danielewski(或者你想说是 Zampano 也行)塞进那里的所有内容。那确实是一本棒极了的书。
I'm not OP, but I finished House of Leaves a year back and you definitely want to read the footnotes and everything else that Danielewski (or Zampano, if you like) has put on there. It really is a terrific book.
现在有很多人利用版式来辅助写作,但我个人非常喜欢的一个典型例子就是 Danielewski 的《House of Leaves》。[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves
There are many people these days that use formatting to further their writing, but a particular example that I enjoyed immensely was Danielewski's House of Leaves.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves
