Book Description
We live in a world of signs.
But not everybody has to trade in them...
Alex-Li Tandem sells autographs - a small blip in a huge worldwide network of desire. It is his business to hunt for names on paper, collect them, sell them, occasionally fake them, and all to give the people what they want: a little piece of Fame. But what does Alex want? Only the return of his father, the reinstatement of some kind of all-powerful benevolent God-type-figure, the end of religion, something for his headache, three different girls, infinite grace and the rare autograph of forties movie actress Kitty Alexander. With fries.
The Autograph Man is a deeply funny, existential tour around the hollow things of modernity - celebrity, cinema and the ugly triumph of symbol over experience. Through London and then New York, Alex is sent on a paper-trail, searching for the only autograph that ever mattered to him, resisting the mystical lure of Kabbalah and Zen, and avoiding all collectors, commen and interfering rabbis who would put themselves in his path. Pushing against the tide of his generation, Alex-Li is on his way to finding enlightment, otherwise known as some part of himself that cannot be signed, celebrated or sold...

主线太多：一心痴迷的Kitty和一手策划的“死亡”；犹太喀巴拉体系和佛教禅宗；亲密关系的构建和已逝亲人的回避。但任何一条主线在书中尚未得到充分书写就匆匆收尾。感觉Zadie Smith有意识地在每一本小说里以一种新的文化/宗教身份进行展露世界的尝试。
评分只能说，比《白牙》收敛多了。
