An utterly contemporary and deeply thought-provoking novel which addresses the profound unease of countless people in modern democracies around the world.
An eminent, seventy-two-year-old Australian writer is invited to contribute to a book entitled Strong Opinions. It is a chance to air some urgent concerns. He writes short essays on the origins of the state, on Machiavelli, on anarchism, on Al-Qaida, on intelligent design, on music. What, he asks, is the origin of the state and the nature of the relationship between citizen and state? How should the citizen of a modern democracy react to the state’s willingness to set aside moral considerations and civil liberties in its war on terror, a war that includes the use of torture? How does the state handle outsiders?
In the laundry-room of his apartment block he encounters an alluring young woman. When he discovers she is between jobs he claims failing eyesight and offers her work typing up his manuscript. Anya has no interest in politics but the job provides a distraction, as does the writer’s evident and not unwelcome attraction toward her.
Her boyfriend, Alan, an investment consultant who understands the world in harsh neo-liberal economic terms, has reservations about his trophy girlfriend spending time with this 1960s throwback. Taking a lively interest in his affairs, Alan begins to formulate a plan.
Diary of a Bad Year is an utterly contemporary work of fiction from one of our greatest writers and deepest thinkers. It addresses the profound unease of countless people in democracies across the world.
不出所料,库切又写了一本复杂的小说。而且这是他迄今为止最为复杂的一部作品,结构形式上的精巧与夸张超过了以“炫技”著称的《伊丽莎白•科斯特洛的八堂课》,主题则比以往的所有的作品都更驳杂。 这也是他写的最轻松的一本书。单看三层“脚手架”中、下栏的叙述,透露着纳...
评分for 上海壹周 “文化观察” “对于英文小说而言,还有更萧条的年份吗?很难记得其中任何一本。”近日出版的英国《每日电讯报》上,大卫·罗宾逊这样评论过去一年的英文小说世界。文中,他颇具争议性地对诺贝尔奖得主库切的新作《流年日记》(Diary of a Bad Year)进行了毫不留...
评分陆建德!又见到了他。难道库切的书,在你读之前需要先看看梗概?难道读者弱智到需要你来把内容陈述一遍?再说,你的陈腐观念,原来是无法解释库切的,在辛格的《傻瓜吉姆佩尔》的序言中,陆已经暴露自己的无知了。被这样残暴的占据了前厅的小说,我不知将这十几页(加上后面的...
评分 评分1、 原来这是一部锻炼记忆力和人格分裂的好书。上栏写着马基雅维利,中栏写着强奸对男人女人的耻辱,下栏讨论者一下午四次的性爱。 2、 虽然JC的确和库切有很多相似之处,但有点写作经验的人都会意识到这不是库切,而是库切创作出来的库切。还看到一种说法是库切可以模糊小说与...
