V.S.奈保爾(V.S.Naipaul):
英國著名作傢。1932年生於特立尼達島上一個印度移民傢庭,50年代進入牛津大學攻讀英國文學,畢業後開始寫作。著有《米格爾街》、《畢司沃斯先生的房子》、《自由國度》、《遊擊隊員》、《大河灣》、“印度三部麯”、《非洲的假麵劇》等。2001年,獲諾貝爾文學奬。
In 1960 the government of Trinidad invited V. S. Naipaul to revisit his native country and record his impressions. In this classic of modern travel writing he has created a deft and remarkably prescient portrait of Trinidad and four adjacent Caribbean societies–countries haunted by the legacies of slavery and colonialism and so thoroughly defined by the norms of Empire that they can scarcely believe that the Empire is ending.
In The Middle Passage , Naipaul watches a Trinidadian movie audience greeting Humphrey Bogart’s appearance with cries of “That is man!” He ventures into a Trinidad slum so insalubrious that the locals call it the Gaza Strip. He follows a racially charged election campaign in British Guiana (now Guyana) and marvels at the Gallic pretension of Martinique society, which maintains the fiction that its roads are extensions of France’s routes nationales. And throughout he relates the ghastly episodes of the region’s colonial past and shows how they continue to inform its language, politics, and values. The result is a work of novelistic vividness and dazzling perspicacity that displays Naipaul at the peak of his powers.

評分乡愁,对于你我而言,始终是一个深埋在心灵深处的美丽童话,在迷茫、残酷世界里一触即碎,虚幻、飘渺,如断了线的风筝,越飞越远,虽穷尽你我余生,却再也无法抓攥… 也许,你我早已“不知不觉把他乡,当作了故乡,只是偶尔难过时,不经意遥望远方…” 也许,你我早已迷失了自...
