Book Description
An unnamed author waits in a bar in Tel Aviv on a stifling hot night. He is there to give a reading of his work but as he sits, bored, he begins to conjure up the life stories of the people he meets. Later, when the reading is done he asks a woman for a drink. She declines and the author walks away, only to climb the steps to her flat, later that night. Or does he?

内容简介
20世纪80年代的特拉维夫，一个闷热的傍晚，作家（从头到尾他就是作家，没有名字）在咖啡馆为晚上的读者见面会做准备。这时，他的注意力被一个年轻女侍者吸引，情不自禁为其编织一段关于三角恋情的故事。随后，他又把故事的主人公换为邻桌的两个中年男子。就这样，作家开始了现实与想象交叠之旅。作家来到文化活动中心与读者见面，却任思绪信马由缰：他“窃取”周围人的生活细节将其作为创作素材；他在两个陌生人之间建立联系使他们存在于同一个故事；他为不同的人物命名，构想他们的经历、编排相关的情节。这一切亦真亦幻，现实与想象的界限逐渐模糊。奥兹以“咏叹生死”为题展示大千世界中的生活琐事与情感，作品中所描写的一切均与生死相关，全书二十几个人物，基本都是在艰难世事中求生存的普通人，他们的欢乐苦痛、思索彷徨，他们的爱与欲、生与死，构成生死之歌中的一个个彼此不同却又是相似的音符。
