读过《Memory's Eyes》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
【2022年已读025】作者并非专业作家，注定了这部小说不会进入很多人的视野。写作风格也决定了这不是一本容易阅读的书：起始的诙谐与讽刺，到了中段演变成不知故事将走向哪里的似乎失控的感觉，再到最终篇章里高潮迭起的人性揭秘，层层叠叠的叙事非常考验读者的耐心。作者在一月份的座谈会上说：写这本书是为了以艺术表达的方式告诉年轻的精神分析同行，今天我们为什么仍要谈论“俄狄浦斯情结”。以可信的故事在当代背景下重新叙写一个离奇的古希腊戏剧脚本，不由得令读者想到，几千年来大同小异的只是情节的外壳，而一直没变的是人生与人性的悲剧本质。

MEMORY'S EYES is a contemporary New York Oedipus novel. It is written for readers who enjoy playing with concepts and storylines, here namely the classical Oedipus myth, Sophocles' three Theban plays, the psychoanalytical concept of the Oedipus complex, and its pop-cultural adaptations in cartoons and jokes. Tragic and funny, playful, but also challenging, readers will find themselves simultaneously knowing and not knowing, anticipating and surprised by how the truth slowly emerges.
