Dr Neave explains that humans move in three planes. You can nod your head backwards and forwards, side to side or twist your neck to look over a shoulder.

尼夫博士解释道，人的动作三个方面你可以前后点头，左右摆头，或扭头看向肩膀。

An owl's head, for example, can twist so far round that it faces backward, but when the bird wants to look forward again, it must turn its head back the way it came.

比如说猫头鹰可以将正脸一直转到后脑勺的位置，但是如果它再想看到正前方的东西，那整个头部只能原路返回了。

In a twist typical of Auster, Brick is given a mission to kill the man who brought about the civil war ("He invented it, and everything that happens or is about to happen is in his head").

在一个颇具奥斯特小说特点的意外转折中，布里克接受了一项任务，刺杀带头发起内战的那个人（“（布里尔）他编造了这个故事，所有发生或将发生的一切，都只存在于他的脑中”）。
