Blinding Light（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　From the jungles of Ecuador to the island of Martha’s
Vineyard, Paul Theroux’s new novel titillates with eroticism,
intelligence, and wit. Slade Steadman is the ultimate one-book
wonder. His lone opus, published twenty years ago, was a cult
classic about his travels through dozens of countries without
benefit of passport. With his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend in tow, he
sets out for Ecuador’s easternmost jungle in search of a rare
hallucinogenic drug and what he hopes will be the cure for his
writer’s block. But his world is altered profoundly when he becomes
addicted to the drug and the insights it provides, only to have
them desert him, along with his sight. Will he regain his vision?
His visions? Or will he forgo the world of his imagining and his
ambition? As Theroux leads us toward the answers, he makes fresh
magic out of the venerable, intertwined themes of sight and
insight. He also offers incisive, sometimes hilarious takes on the
manifold ironies of travel and the trappings of the writer’s life
— from the fear of the blank page to the unexpected challenges of
the book tour.

　　From the New York Times best-selling author Paul Theroux,
Blinding Light is a slyly satirical novel of manners and mind
expansion. Slade Steadman, a writer who has lost his chops, sets
out for the Ecuadorian jungle with his ex-girlfriend in search of
inspiration and a rare hallucinogen. The drug, once found,
heightens both his powers of perception and his libido, but it also
leaves him with an unfortunate side effect: periodic blindness.
Unable to resist the insights that enable him to write again,
Steadman spends the next year of his life in thrall to his
psychedelic muse and his erotic fantasies, with consequences that
are both ecstatic and disastrous.
