From the Nobel laureate–a spare, searing new novel about identity and idealism, and their ability to shape or destroy us.
Willie Chandran–whom we first met in Half a Life–is a man in his early forties who has allowed one identity after another to be thrust upon him, as if he could truly know himself by becoming what others imagine him to be. His life has taken him from his native India to England, Africa in its last colonial moment, and Berlin, until finally it returns him to his homeland. Succumbing to the demanding encouragement of his sister–and his own listlessness–Willie joins an underground movement in India ostensibly devoted to unfettering the lower castes. But seven years of revolutionary campaigns and several years in jail convince him that the revolution “had nothing to do with the village people we said we were fighting for…[that] our ideas and words were more important than their lives and their ambitions for themselves.” And, as well, he feels himself further than ever “from his own history and…from the ideas of himself that might have come to him with that history.”
When Willie returns to England where, thirty years before, his psychological and physical wanderings began, he finds the fruit of another unexpected social revolution (more magic seeds), and comes to see himself as a man “serving an endless prison sentence”–a revelation that may finally release him into his true self.
Magic Seeds is a masterpiece, written with all the depth and resonance, the clarity of vision and precision of language, that are the hallmarks of this brilliant writer.

评分在生命的尽头，人会如何回顾他的一生？他这一生的所有的成就、激情、感悟，所信奉的思想，以及所遵守的价值观在这尽头之处究竟意味着什么？是能够让你安心的面对最终黑暗时刻的到来？还是仅仅只是幻象的气泡破裂之后留下的虚无，伴你融进一个更大的无边的虚无之中？这似乎是奈...
评分【读品】罗豫/文 2001年秋天，英籍印度裔作家V.S.奈保尔赢得诺贝尔文学奖，一部名为《半生》的小说新作几乎同时出版，一时间备受关注。然而，另一位将在两年后获同一殊荣的大作家库切却在书评中直言不讳地说：“读到《半生》的末尾，我们仍然会觉得，不仅是威利·钱德兰，就连...
