From the celebrated author of The English Patient and In the Skin of a Lion comes a remarkable new novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time.
In the 1970s in Northern California, near Gold Rush country, a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is riven by an incident of violence—of both hand and heart—that sets fire to the rest of their lives.
Divisadero takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada’s casinos and eventually to the landscape of south-central France. It is here, outside a small rural village, that Anna becomes immersed in the life and the world of a writer from an earlier time—Lucien Segura. His compelling story, which has its beginnings at the turn of the century, circles around “the raw truth” of Anna’s own life, the one she’s left behind but can never truly leave. And as the narrative moves back and forth in time and place, we discover each of the characters managing to find some foothold in a present rough hewn from the past.
Breathtakingly evoked and with unforgettable characters, Divisadero is a multilayered novel about passion, loss, and the unshakable past, about the often discordant demands of family, love, and memory. It is Michael Ondaatje's most intimate and beautiful novel to date.

连接昆明湖与八一湖的那条昆玉河恰好从我住的楼下流过。非结冰期的日子,我喜欢时不时地望着河水,什么也不为,只为看它潺潺地流。后来我发现有些路人也喜欢这么做,他们三两一群,趴在桥边,出神地看河水,隔一会儿又四散。很难说是什么东西吸引了我们,很可能只是因为河水...
评分(张惠雯/文) 迈克尔•翁达杰(Michael Ondaatje)对我来说几乎是一个陌生的作者,在阅读《遥望》之前,我对他唯一的了解是其作为《英国病人》小说作者的这一事实。 不久前,朋友寄给我一本他的新作《遥望》(Divisadero)。书寄到后,搁置了几天。后来,在从上海回郑州的...
评分人民文学出版社的封面与Knopf出版《Divisadero》的封面一模一样。第一遍读完的时候,我总以为应该用它的西班牙语之意——“分裂”,后来再读,却又开始认同他借安娜之口的另外一个解释——安娜居住过的旧金山一个街道的名字,叫做《遥望》。当一束光照在封面上那“蓝色”的桌子...
评分都是意境优美 ,细节优美的文学之花。 《遥望》被誉为是迈克尔·翁达杰最为诗意的小说,撇开战争的厚重,回归田园和内心。Dibisadero,西班牙语里“分裂”一词,那条街一度是旧金山城与普西迪军事基地的分界线。这个单词也源于Divisar,意思是“从远处眺望”,即放眼远方,...
评分最近豆瓣上的人都在谈论《刀锋》和它对人生的影响。很多人把这本书当作成长圣经、人生教条。但我对这本书却没有太多感触。这本书只是某个聪明人硬塞给我的自以为能让我学习的成长圣经。当时还因为我对这本书的无感,让这位聪明人勃然大怒。恨恨孺子不可教。 然而人与书各自有...
