Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents’ cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New
England, where his enduring passion for a girl he’ll meet again and again over the years is punctuated
by anonymous encounters with men; whether he’s on a tennis court in Central Park, or on a New York sidewalk in early spring, his attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire―not for just one person’s body but, inevitably, for someone else’s as well.
In Enigma Variations, Aciman maps the most inscrutable corners of passion, proving to be an unsparing
reader of the human psyche and a master stylist. With language at once lyrical, bare-knuckled,
and unabashedly candid, he casts a sensuous, shimmering light over each facet of desire to probe how
we ache, want, and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of those who may want
to offer only what we crave from them. Ahead of every step Paul takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and

Aciman是一个诚实又细腻的作家。整本书的语句非常美，细致到每个细节都让你感同身受。读的过程中觉得Paul是一个多情的人，还把爱中的不忠诚用浪漫来包装，这让我非常沮丧，生气和不适。但越读我越明白，其实这就是真实的爱与渴望，我们在爱的渴求和消逝中来回，Aciman比我更像我。

应该是读的第一本英文书，当时看的断断续续，好多读不懂也就懒得再查词，常常是看睡着了又从当天开始的地方续起，真的读了好久好久啊，差不多有月余
