From the celebrated author of The English Patient and In the Skin of a Lion comes a remarkable new novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time.
In the 1970s in Northern California, near Gold Rush country, a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is riven by an incident of violence—of both hand and heart—that sets fire to the rest of their lives.
Divisadero takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada’s casinos and eventually to the landscape of south-central France. It is here, outside a small rural village, that Anna becomes immersed in the life and the world of a writer from an earlier time—Lucien Segura. His compelling story, which has its beginnings at the turn of the century, circles around “the raw truth” of Anna’s own life, the one she’s left behind but can never truly leave. And as the narrative moves back and forth in time and place, we discover each of the characters managing to find some foothold in a present rough hewn from the past.
Breathtakingly evoked and with unforgettable characters, Divisadero is a multilayered novel about passion, loss, and the unshakable past, about the often discordant demands of family, love, and memory. It is Michael Ondaatje's most intimate and beautiful novel to date.

作家吕西安的故事很可能是安娜的创作：吕西安，罗蒙，玛丽的三角关系映射安娜克莱尔库珀；吕西安作为父亲对女儿和妹夫搞不伦睁一只眼闭一只眼对比安娜父亲对安娜库珀伪骨科恋情的棒打鸳鸯；晚年的吕西安形象又是安娜对父亲的怀念——难免不让人想到李尔王。最后收尾镜头：夜鸟飞过湖中倒影(曾是惊鸿照影来！），正是两个时空(亦或艺术与现实）是耶非耶，终于相合。也可以把这本与《身着狮皮》《英国病人》当成一个三部曲：作为配...作家吕西安的故事很可能是安娜的创作：吕西安，罗蒙，玛丽的三角关系映射安娜克莱尔库珀；吕西安作为父亲对女儿和妹夫搞不伦睁一只眼闭一只眼对比安娜父亲对安娜库珀伪骨科恋情的棒打鸳鸯；晚年的吕西安形象又是安娜对父亲的怀念——难免不让人想到李尔王。最后收尾镜头：夜鸟飞过湖中倒影(曾是惊鸿照影来！），正是两个时空(亦或艺术与现实）是耶非耶，终于相合。也可以把这本与《身着狮皮》《英国病人》当成一个三部曲：作为配角的卡拉瓦乔贯穿了三本书！可不就是"卡拉瓦乔三部曲"?艺术手法上(我个人的看法）：《英国病人》像东方园林，《身着狮皮》像屏风像卷轴，《遥望》的组织模式其实是音乐——令人想起翁达杰早期的Coming Through Slaughter，这个书名双关，也极贴合《遥望》里人物的trauma经历。(展开)

上海渡口书店买到的书！真的好开心，旅行途中不时翻阅。作者用的P&V的叙事手法(这个手法本人很喜欢)，讲述了三位主角过去与现在交错记忆、情感的故事~
