Book Description

After drinking an elixir that bestows immortality upon him, a young Indian named Flapping Eagle spends the next seven hundred years sailing the seas with the blessing, and ultimately the burden, of living forever. Eventually, he grows weary of the sameness of life and journeys to the mountainous Calf Island to regain his mortality. There he meets other immortals obsessed with their own stasis, and he sets out to scale the island's peak, from which the mysterious and corrosive Grimus Effect emits. Through a series of thrilling quests and encounters, Flapping Eagle comes face-to-face with the island's creator and unwinds the mysteries of his own humanity.

    鲁西迪说这本书不太像自己的书,与后来的作品相比确实缺少现实关怀,只能算是写作练习,但注意虚构出的k城依旧是一个想象的家园,科幻小说这一元素也曾反复在鲁西迪之后的小说中重现。总之还是蛮有趣的,但缺乏深度,讨论的生死问题既不深入也过于宽泛,科幻元素也流于碎片化。03-14
