具体描述
A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music. Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovich’s career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.

读后感
献给伯特 一个听 一个记 一个饮 ——谚语 这是《时间的噪音》的题记。 无法不听，不能停止记忆，不会停止喝酒。在巴恩斯的笔下，肖斯塔科维奇记下的时代“三和弦”，清除时间的噪音，比所有人所有事活得更长。 置身于所谓的“大时代”，被时间的噪音环绕，并不是什么陌生的、特...
评分When someone repeats the old adage that no one ever put up a statue to a critic, you could always try saying: “Well, Stalin ...” Stalin, of course, was known for rather more than his ear for music, but it would have to be one of the more insulting ironies...
评分这本书的叙事方式，对我而言是比较陌生的。我记得大概在GXJ的一些片断里有过这样的感觉，一种游离在事件之外冷眼旁观，以一种思想演进的方式来推进情节。 反而前苏联的历史背景显得模糊了。 肖斯塔科维奇这样一个人物，和我想象的处在那样政治高压的情况下的人的表现不太一样。...
评分世人都瞧不起懦夫，崇拜英雄。 懦夫只为了自己能够活下来，唯唯诺诺，尽所有丧尽尊严之事都可以。英雄则为了理想或者是其它崇高的事物，毅然决然的不惜以生命为代价去追求。在文学作品中，歌颂英雄和英雄主义是永恒的主题。 但在《时间的噪音》中，歌颂的却是一位懦夫。 他...
评分《见证》风行一时以后，对这个世界而言，肖斯塔科维奇还有秘密吗？朱利安•巴恩斯要以肖斯塔科维奇为主角写一本小说，等于给自己设置了至少两道屏障。一是，肖斯塔科维奇的音乐懂的人少但他的故事知道的人不少，小说的基本创作手法就是虚构，用真实的历史人物做主角，虚构还...

一声叹息！欣赏肖斯塔科维奇的人需要有一个不肤浅的灵魂。
评分肖斯塔科维奇身上有所有我认为的艺术家气质，纤弱、神经质、自我、怯懦和纯粹 “egotistical and pessimistic“ “an optimistic Shostakovich”本来就是个矛盾的词组，music for the People令人恶心。音乐只是音乐而已，一切工具化都是犯罪。怯懦的背面是自我嘲讽自我死亡，怯懦需要勇气啊
评分准备三刷。Barnes is at his best when writing about artists.
评分一声叹息！欣赏肖斯塔科维奇的人需要有一个不肤浅的灵魂。
评分在山里读完，把书永远留在那里。耳朵里没有音乐却渗满旋律。希望下一个路过hut的人也会喜欢。
