A gay Odyssey. An attribute to Proust. A love story crafted with polyphony narrative. Beautiful language and lovely to read but is it too readable to be a prize winner?
評分完全不解這部小說是憑藉什麼獲瞭普利策奬的。除瞭零星乍現的幾個高亮點,全書都很無聊,忍著讀完。陳述者一直在說男主人公很天真,雖然已五十歲,但沒有任何章節斷落是描述他如何天真的。最不能容忍的,就是靠一個陳述句刻畫人物,我要的是,描述。我要證據,我不要作者丟給我一個結論。男主人公,行將五十歲,一個沒什麼名氣的三流作傢,被相處瞭很多年的小男友拋棄,被人提到時的標簽永遠是某著名詩人曾經的戀人,在收到前男友的結婚請柬後,決定環遊世界。法國,德國,意大利,摩洛哥,印度,日本。在旅程中,沒什麼事情發生,他的旅程實在是太枯燥乏味瞭。少有關於他情緒的描寫,作者沒有提供給讀者可與之主人公發生情緒共鳴的通道。讀著關於他的故事,卻如同一個旁觀者,看著與自己擦肩而過的路人,你對他一無所知。作者的講述,太糟糕瞭。
評分真的有點無聊,除瞭男主很帥,艷遇很多,沒瞭
評分作者的文筆真的是我讀過的有限的英語文學裏最能引起共鳴之一瞭 故事情節相對輕鬆簡單 整個閱讀體驗還是很愉悅的
評分I love this book!
Who says you can't run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes--it would be too awkward--and you can't say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world.
QUESTION: How do you arrange to skip town?
ANSWER: You accept them all.
What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: he will turn fifty. Through it all, there is his first love. And there is his last.
Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, Less is, above all, a love story.
A scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, a bittersweet romance of chances lost, by an author The New York Times has hailed as "inspired, lyrical," "elegiac," "ingenious," as well as "too sappy by half," Less shows a writer at the peak of his talents raising the curtain on our shared human comedy.
I really like the tone of this novel. On the one hand, It was told in a direct and detailed way that as a reader, I could depict the scense with flesh in my mind. On the other hand, despite the closeness, all the emotions in the story are still slightly det...
評分小说很迷人,作家的生活更迷人,这是我之前说过的。理所当然的,一本写作家生活的小说也很有意思。 许多要做的事情来不及做,没有兴趣做,被其他纷繁的事情打扰忘记做,这我之前说过,但现在深有体会,花花世界,迷乱人眼,倒不是说哪件事情更有意义,而是感受到了自己的有限而...
評分赶在六一读完了Less。最后莱斯去的城市是京都,体验了日本的怀石料理,中途得知了旧爱Robert中风住院。Robert算是见证Less从青年到中年的全过程。在他眼中,莱斯还是当年海滩上见过的二十一岁少年,那个错将多伦多当做加拿大首都的少年。人人都说年轻时遇到的爱恋最让人难忘,...
