Rohinton Mistry is considered to be one of the foremost authors of Indian heritage writing in English. Residing in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Mistry belongs to the Parsi Zoroastrian religious minority.
Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.
A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry’s stunning internationally acclaimed bestseller, is set in mid-1970s India. It tells the story of four unlikely people whose lives come together during a time of political turmoil soon after the government declares a “State of Internal Emergency.” Through days of bleakness and hope, their circumstances – and their fates – become inextricably linked in ways no one could have foreseen. Mistry’s prose is alive with enduring images and a cast of unforgettable characters. Written with compassion, humour, and insight, A Fine Balance is a vivid, richly textured, and powerful novel written by one of the most gifted writers of our time.
之前查资料,发现很多人把这本书的英文版加入了关于《生命最后的读书会》的豆列。《生命最后的读书会》我也是看过的,可是我完全不记得那里面提到了这本书。后来我又翻了一遍读书会那本书,专门找关于这本书的段落,发现只有一句。在中文版94页末尾有这么一段: 有些作者毫不...
評分加拿大籍印度裔作家罗因顿·米斯特里的小说《微妙的平衡》中文版的封腰推荐语称其为“印度版《活着》四重奏”,但读完全书以后,我感觉《活着》根本不足以形容其厚重,或者称其为印度版《悲惨世界》更为合适与贴切,而且这种悲惨不是属于某一个人的,而是属于所有人的。 印度...

評分没有看完,只对看了部分评价。笔触很细腻,政治背景若隐若现,建议看之前对印度当代史要有简单了解。基本上正在告别言情的部分,政治小说的模样初见端倪。 作者笔下的德里绝对不是我们印象中的那个城市,而是我们每人心目中家乡的样子,充满温情。 看完了,花了很长的时间 ...
評分小说是一个民族的秘史,是一个国家隐形、细微的记录。相较之下,不少教科书对一国一地的记载都大而无当,只有枯燥的人名和冰冷的年代数字组成的机械事件,以及地名和物产的简单罗列;而那些花花绿绿的旅游书,很多则极尽个人抒情和拼命美化之能事,浮光掠影地走马观花,与真实...
讀過最慘的書,英迪拉·甘地執政時期印度底層民眾苦難史,跨越各個種姓,各個宗教。深深的無力和絕望,印度已爛到根裏。作者是信奉瑣羅亞斯德教的帕西人,一直以為該教隨著波斯王朝一起覆滅瞭
评分印度浮世繪 宗教政治種姓製度種種皆荒誕無比 故事構架完美且真實 在悲慘世界中尋求微妙平衡 後勁強大 讀的時候還好 讀完後再迴顧全書 隻剩血淋淋的絕望
评分小人物的命運和時代緊緊地聯係在一起。個人是單薄的,隻能找到微薄的平衡。
评分Still prefer God of Small Things
评分有點難受
