Graham Swift is the author of eight novels, including Waterland, which won the Guardian Fiction Award, Last Orders, winner of the 1996 Booker Prize and 1998 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, subsequently made into a successful film, Light of Day and Tomorrow. His new book, and first work of non-fiction, Making an Elephant: Writing from Within, is an open-spirited account of a writer's life and published in March 2009.
Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book that takes in eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as any in Greek tragedy.
" Waterland , like the Hardy novels, carries with all else a profound knowledge of a people, a place, and their interweaving.... Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity.... A fine and original work."-- Los Angeles Times
和威廉•肯尼迪一样,格雷厄姆•斯威夫特也是处于一个比较尴尬的处境;读者看到威廉•肯尼迪想到的是威廉•福克纳和约翰•肯尼迪的合体,而看到格雷厄姆•斯威夫特,读者也会想到是格雷厄姆•格林和乔纳森•斯威夫特的合体。因为有了两个比较卓越的前辈作家,...
評分无尽的时间深藏于历史--看看这个故事可以追溯到哪个阿特金森,或者斯科特。 一切都从那里开始,最后又回到那里。 犯下的错误还是遭遇的激情,都不再重要,那种淡淡的忧伤会伴随着时间的沧桑,冲破故事本身,回到每个人物身上。 好像真的有一条河,我们坐在河边上。
評分首次看到这本书的推荐是在《三联生活周刊》上吧?我看到一个人划着桨在黑色的湖面上,桨下是盘根错节的根茎,“水之乡“——一个冷清又多情的名字,于是好奇心驱使我一探究竟。 戴着眼镜的历史老师给我们讲故事 这本书开始看的时候很晦涩,特别是主人公边叙述两个家族...
評分好的故事 我想,好的故事应该是这样的:叙事是一束灯光,幽幽探入文本黑暗的渊薮,在光线的游移与想象的拼接中,缓慢地将黑暗呈献给敞亮,这过程犹如染色剂侵入纸张上隐秘的符码,一寸光阴一寸浸润,最终将其大白于天下。 马原极为赞赏海明威《永别了,武器》的结尾,叙事人往...
評分虽然推荐这本书的人跟我在思想上有诸多相似处,一开始我并没对它抱太大期望,原因是担心风格太文艺晦涩,可能不是我的类型。现在我知道自己先入为主的看法错了,这本小说确实很文艺,但外表文艺的同时也很有内在的料。 设定极具野心,而最终Graham Swift可以说是成功了:很少...
好~
评分It's all about history— How it repeats itself, how it goes back on itself, no matter how we try to straighten it out. How it twists and turns. How it goes in circles and brings us back to the same place.
评分對其認識粗淺,僅看齣曆史敘事的端倪
