有点失望。两个短篇还不错,主打的短长篇令人厌烦,通篇没话找话的大段景物描写,没看出起到什么必不可少的作用。其实整本书就是在讲cultural displacement,无论“从低向高”追求更好的生活,还是“从高到低”寻求自由,最终都事与愿违无所适从。
评分我看短评里大家偏爱的前两个短篇时,心里只有WHAT THE ACTUAL FXXK 同名中篇才能说得上是有质感。个人生活经历大概是奈保尔创作的最重要源泉,他写特立尼达的小城故事,清甜的热带气息让人动容;写白人去南非寻找自由,能完美与人物共情;写印度人的苦难,让人觉得他歧视自己的种族。
评分We all come out of the same pot, but some people move ahead and some people get left behind. Some people get left behind so far they don't know and they stop caring.
评分更喜欢前面的几个短篇,同名的短篇还没有读完
评分最后一篇如同嚼蜡。但前面几篇真的短小深刻。
V.S.奈保尔(V.S.Naipaul):
英国著名作家。1932年生于特立尼达岛上一个印度移民家庭,1950年进入牛津大学攻读英国文学,毕业后迁居伦敦。
50年代开始写作,著有《米格尔街》、《斯通与骑士伙伴》、《自由国度》、《河湾》、“印度三部曲”、《非洲的假面剧》等。2001年,荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
No writer has rendered our boundariless, post-colonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face. A perfect case in point is this riveting novel, a masterful and stylishly rendered narrative of emigration, dislocation, and dread, accompanied by four supporting narratives.
In the beginning it is just a car trip through Africa. Two English people--Bobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys, and Linda, a supercilious “compound wife” [117]-- are driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital [111]. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amin’s Uganda. [111-12, 120, 130-1, 150, 178, 220-40] And the farther Naipaul’s protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims. Alongside this Conradian tour de force are four incisive portraits of men seeking liberation far from home. By turns funny and terrifying, sorrowful and unsparing, In A Free State is Naipaul at his best.
IN A FREE STATE。这是我刚刚看完的奈保尔的一本书的书名,1971年出版,获得了当年的布克奖。其中的两篇在2002年第1期的《世界文学》奈保尔专辑中刊登过。 这本书包括两篇游记的节选,两个短篇,一个小长篇,两个短篇因为在《世界文学》上看过,所以这次看了剩余的,最后看的...
评分《自由国度》﹝英﹞V.S.奈保尔 我是在近来的某一个时段,突然之间频繁接触到“奈保尔”、《灵异推拿师》、《黑暗之地》等等的字眼,加上印度、伊朗、阿富汗等中东的故事,对我具有魔力般的吸引力。作者奈保尔是英籍印度裔作家,他18岁才到牛津大学求学,获得文学学士后毕定居英...
评分In A Free State is much better than the other stories in this book. It is modern-style, cool, taut, rthymic and balanced. You'll never be bored by this story if you're reading its original English version. The emotion is controlled; the conversation is prov...
评分康德说:所谓自由,不是随心所欲,而是自我主宰。可谁又曾真正拥有过自己,能够主宰自我呢? 自由,就是一片丛林,你我早已在追逐自由国度中迷失了方向。 v.s.奈保尔: 我曾经在镜中端详自己, 决定做个自由人, 然而现在, 自由使我认识到, 我有一张脸,一副躯体; 我必须在...
