This is actually so good. Brutally funny, classy, somewhat similar to a film noir (with a femme fatale figure). A wonderful read.
評分Rex and Margot are manipulating Albinus and Nabokov is manipulating his readers:)
評分巧閤就是,一個人十年前在海裏丟瞭一顆鑽石袖扣,十年後的同一天當他在吃一條魚的時候,魚肚子裏什麼也沒有。morbid sensitivity and sense of humour。Albinus在被年輕的情婦和她那病態譏誚的情人軟禁之前就已經是一個“瞎子”瞭。Fools are those who love but not loved in return
評分遊戲“巧閤”
評分說是Lolita的雛形,可如果納氏在《洛》中這般采用女主角視角,恐怕還是不要的好。前半部分有幾處用喻搶眼,細節見功力(如A試圖扒下戒指、狗耳朵內側像吸墨紙、M“嚙咬”小圓麵包),但進展基本在意料之中。劇情開始抓人,始於齣乎意料的脫軌,始於進入“黑暗”之時——為後半部分加半星。總體敘述過於平鋪直敘,確實是雛形。
Vladimir Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokovs were known for their high culture and commitment to public service, and the elder Nabokov was an outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism and one of the leaders of the opposition party, the Kadets. In 1919, following the Bolshevik Revolution, he took his family into exile. Four years later he was shot and killed at a political rally in Berlin while trying to shield the speaker from right-wing assassins. The Nabokov household was trilingual, and as a child Nabokov was already reading Wells, Poe, Browning, Keats, Flaubert, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Tolstoy, and Chekhov alongside the popular entertainments of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne. As a young man, he studied Slavic and romance languages at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his honors degree in 1922. For the next 18 years he lived in Berlin and Paris, writing prolifically in Russian under the pseudonym "Sirin" and supporting himself through translations, lessons in English and tennis, and by composing the first crossword puzzles in Russian. In 1925, he married Vera Slonim, with whom he had one child, a son, Dmitri. Having already fled Russia and Germany, Nabokov became a refugee once more in 1940, when he was forced to leave France for the United States. There he taught at Wellesley, Harvard, and Cornell. He also gave up writing in Russian and began composing fiction in English. His most notable works include Bend Sinister (1947), Lolita (1955), Pnin (1957), and Pale Fire (1962), as well as the translation of his earlier Russian novels into English. He also undertook English translations of works by Lermontov and Pushkin and wrote several books of criticism. Vladimir Nabokov died in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1977.
Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who wants to become a movie star herself. When Albinus introduces her to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire, deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of Berlin in the 1930s.
