Discursive and ruminative, more like an extended essay than a novel, the intricately structured chapters in this highly autobiographical book reveal "the writer defined by his . . . ways of seeing." Naipaul, in his own person, narrates a series of events, beginning during a period of soul-healing in Wiltshire, circling back to the day of his departure from Trinidad in 1950 when he was 18, describing his time in London before he went up to Oxford, moving back to Trinidad after his sister's death: these journeys are a metaphor for his life. With beautiful use of detail recaptured from an extraordinary memory, with exquisitely nuanced observations of the natural world and his own interior landscape, he shows how experience is transmogrified after much incertitude and paininto literature. This is a melancholy book, the testament of a man who has stoically willed himself to endure disappointment, alienation, change and grief. Naipaul lays bare the loneliness, vulnerability and anxieties of his life, the sensibility that is both an asset for the writer and a burden for the man. He demonstrates this brilliantly by describing other peoplemainly his neighbors in a village near Stonehenge. Using these characters as catalysts, Naipaul peels back protective layers of memory, sparing himself nothing, revealing the mistakes and inadequacies of his life. The drama resides in small incidents: the death of a cottager, the firing of an estate's gardener; with each account, the narrative is spun more tightly into a seamless tapestry, a powerful document by a master of his craft.
我得坦白,我没读懂这本书,虽然每一个字都认识。我也毫不怀疑奈保尔在写这篇自传(虽然书店将它归到小说一类)时的真诚,他一点也没有像那位写《XX苦旅》的人一样弄什么玄虚,但是我一直想要问一个问题:他抵达到哪儿了呢? 也许我应该给那个神情冷峻的老头发封EMAIL,问问他...

評分未读之前脑海中一直都有这四个字“抵达之谜”。这似乎是一个未知去往何处的旅程,但是却注定要去往,这个旅程本身不能停止,似乎是有方向,但又不明朗,人未知身在何处,更不知将去往何处。但是我们似乎终是要抵达,我们要去往何处,又该如何前往? 抵达,或是迷失,或是方向早...
評分以前没有接触过奈保尔的作品,初看这本《抵达之谜》,被扉页上的推荐吸引“他远离尘嚣,栖 居在英国的一座乡村庄园。回忆这段宁静单纯的岁月,他写下了平凡生活中被忽视或遗忘的人和事。。”于是以为是一本充满了田园风光的乡居生活的书,有四季交迭变更的美景,有乡野的宁静和...
評分我无法言明为什么如此喜欢这本书,是因为清透的文字,是因为隐居乡间的宁静,还是因为漂泊的异乡人的孤独和焦虑,或者我也从花匠从那些体力劳动者的身上,领悟到了什么。又或者,跟随奈保尔的文学之眼,我在一种沉思忧伤的氛围中,回望了我自己的旅程,以及我的抵达之谜。 叙...
