Ghost Stories: A Memoir

內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一部情感強烈、直擊人心的回憶錄，以失去丈夫——保羅・奧斯特（Paul Auster）——為核心，書寫愛與悲傷的交織。《Ghost Stories: A Memoir》收錄了奧斯特從未公開過的私人文字——寫給西莉的信件與筆記，以及他留給孫子的未完成遺作《Letters to Miles》。這本回憶錄既是一曲輓歌，也是一場內在清理：它記錄了個人的失去，同時也見證了近年來的悲劇——哈斯特維特繼子與孫女的離世。哈斯特維特在書中探問：悲傷如何使時間失去錨點？共享一生的親密關係如何持續在日常中留下印記？身體又如何將愛的缺席感受為某種存在？她回望奧斯特留下的物件與手稿、兩人共度的四十三年時光、哀悼的儀式，以及語言、記憶與自我的本質。部分是回憶錄，部分是哲學探問，《Ghost Stories》坦率無畏，溫柔而深具智慧。這是一個關於一名女性在自身生命中徘徊的故事，也關於那些棲居於我們之中的幽靈——即使我們繼續活下去，它們依然與我們同在。A searing memoir of love and grief centered around the loss of Siri Hustvedt’s husband, Paul Auster.Ghost Stories is an intimate meditation on grief, memory, and enduring love, written after the death of Siri Hustvedt’s husband, Paul Auster. The book includes personal, never-before-seen writing by Auster—letters and notes to Siri and his last unfinished book addressed to his grandson, Letters to Miles. The memoir is both an elegy and a reckoning, a chronicle of personal loss that also bears witness to the sorrows of recent years—the tragic deaths of Hustvedt’s stepson and granddaughter.Hustvedt explores how grief unmoors time, how the intimacy of a shared life continues to mark the everyday, and how the body experiences the absence of love as a presence. She reflects on the things and papers Auster left behind, the forty-three years they spent together, the rituals of mourning, and the nature of language, memory, and the self.Part memoir, part philosophical inquiry, Ghost Stories is unflinching, tender, and wise. It is a story of a woman haunting her own life, and the ghosts that inhabit us even as we carry on.

各界推薦

各界推薦 "Besides recounting his final illness, Hustvedt creates a palpable portrait of [Paul] Auster as lover and husband, father and grandfather...Their bond was physical, emotional, and deeply intellectual. He told Hustvedt he wanted to return as a ghost; she honors that desire in this intimate memoir."—Kirkus'Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom'Salman RushdieGhost Stories is a year of grief spun into wise, truthful gold. What a kind, honest book. What a gift of love. -- David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas
