"Darling, " he read, "I love you as no woman ever loved, but Lance, my dearest, leave me now while our love is still a shining thing." “亲爱的,我对你的爱是任何女人都比不上的,但是,请离开我,趁现在我们的爱仍然熠熠生辉的时候离开我。” (查看原文)

太难读,情节很平淡,时间线也经常是断裂的。只是全书在Randolph讲述自己对Pepe阴差阳错又虐心的爱情的时候被推上了一个高峰,我记得那时候手捧着书禁不住地一遍遍地将这段文字诵读出来。

好不容易读完了,查单词已经查到吐。心理、环境的描写,视角的转换和情节的插入使小说结构十分复杂,好些地方没太读懂。

整本书就像一个繁复而暧昧的梦境,潜意识小径分叉的废弃花园

Intentionally poetic and beautiful. Eerie plots. The author intended to become a star. And il a réussi dès le premier coup.
