亨利·米勒(Henry Miller,189l-1980)生于纽约布鲁克林,年轻时从事过许多不同的工作,在第二位夫人(一生共五位)琼的鼓励下开始写作。1930年迁居巴黎,此后的十年里,他同一些穷困潦倒的侨民和放荡不羁的巴黎人混在一起,获得了丰富的写作素材。1934年在巴黎出版了《北回归线》,五年后又出版了《南回归线》。这两本书的写作风格形成了一种对传统观念的勇猛挑战与反叛,给欧洲文学先锋派带来了巨大的震动。
1940年米勒回到美国,住在加州的大瑟尔。在那里他创作厂“殉色三部曲”——《性爱之旅》、《情欲之网》和《春梦之结》,但由于被当做写“下流作品”的作家,他的主要作品不能在美国出版。1961年经过一场具有历史意义的诉讼,《北回归线》终于在美国出版,米勒成为一个家喻户晓的名字,他被60年代反主流文化誉为自由和性解放的先知。
亨利·米勒的境遇让人联想起纳博科夫的《洛丽塔》和劳伦斯的《查泰莱夫人的情人》,但艾略特认为《北回归线》的深刻洞察力远远胜过劳伦斯,艾兹拉·庞德显然更加推崇米勒,他把米勒与意识流小说大师乔伊斯和伍尔芙相提并论。
George Orwell called this novel
"the most important book of the mid-1930s [and Miller is] the only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past."[2]
Samuel Beckett hailed it as "a momentous event in the history of modern writing".[citation needed] Norman Mailer, in his book on Miller, Genius and Lust, called it "one of the ten or twenty greatest novels of the century". The Modern Library named it the 50th greatest book of the 20th century.[3] Edmund Wilson said of the novel:
The tone of the book is undoubtedly low; The Tropic of Cancer, in fact, from the point of view both of its happening and of the language in which they are conveyed, is the lowest book of any real literary merit that I have ever remember to have read... there is a strange amenity of temper and style which bathes the whole composition even when it is disgusting or tiresome.[4]
In his dissent from the majority holding that the book was not obscene, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Michael Musmanno wrote Cancer is "not a book. It is a cesspool, an open sewer, a pit of putrefaction, a slimy gathering of all that is rotten in the debris of human depravity
我是从空调噩梦开始读亨利米勒的,并不太读得下去,现在也没通读一遍。我只能读得进狂欢似的南北回归线和性×爱之旅。 在我看来亨利米勒是一场派对的领袖,派对主题是暴露并撕裂伤口。平常伤口代表丑陋,疼痛和屈辱,但这个派对上各种伤口,大的小的,流血的化脓的,...
评分如果从一个人的成长经历中筛选影响他日后职业的因素的话,那么对巴尼•罗塞特,我想这几点是至关重要的:1922年出生,父亲是银行家,迷恋亨利•米勒的小说。 因为出身于一个中产家庭,罗塞特有几乎被父亲送进一所思想极其自由的学校。 在那里,罗塞特出版了油印杂志《反对...
评分【一】 当我在那里鬼混,我就会看见 一扇门和一些裸白色的大腿 如果我再转过身,是森林和黑森林 大口大口咽食着颓色的心脏 如果我聆听:一句伤感的独白 和一段快要背过气的音乐 如果我仅仅只是好奇,飞机从下水道 驶过,这又会是什么意思 【二】 当她们拼凑着手指小心翼翼...
评分他的书我第一次看,是在大三或大四(88-90年)在台北公馆金石堂书店翻阅的。我只看了一两页,浏览几句。 很多年后,00~10年间透过网络买了这本,也就是我当年在书店翻阅的这个版本。听说绝版了,那就来试着买一下,想拥有它。这次我还是只读了一两页,大概是前言或第一章。 我...
评分单单从书中的做爱章节来点评,我会觉得这书根本就是一本糜烂低级的小黄书,而且文笔俗的一塌糊涂。 只有肉体官能的描述如何让人浮想联翩?如果只是“操””干“的脏话和几个器官名就能让人意淫无限的话,那真是在随便一抓都是好书了。其实,我看过的很多BL小说都比它写的好,...
我猜我再年轻点可能会喜欢,我猜我不年轻了已经?
评分Miller transformed the obscenity of humanity into a beautiful poetry of passion and truth. Hemingway should be ashamed of his bleakness if he could comprehend Miller's richness. He is the one with desperate and hungry eyes who attempts to tell the world the truth, but who ever listened? Who ever followed the truth?
