A wildly original novel of erotic fulfillment and spiritual yearning. Every two years the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman-a jaded and dissolute journalist-whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Among their number is a narrator who may or may not be the Atman previously seen in Venice. Intending to visit only for a few days he ends up staying for months, and suddenly finds-or should that be loses?-a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, "the "self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that, willingly or not, he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other. Could two stories, in two different cities, actually be one and the same story? Nothing Geoff Dyer has written before is as wonderfully unbridled, as dead-on in evocation of place, longing and the possibility of neurotic enlightenment, and as irrepressibly entertaining as "Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi."""

《杰夫在威尼斯,死亡在瓦拉纳西》是一本典型的知识分子气质小说。杰夫来到威尼斯随身带着一本玛丽·麦卡锡的《被凝视的威尼斯》。我们几乎都有这样的习惯,去一个陌生的城市就会带上与这座城有关的一本书,仿佛我们参观的不是这座城,而是为了印证这座城与书中的城是否能合而...

没找到想找的书,却在书架上看到了“瓦拉纳西”这四个大字。于是就把这本书借回来看了。 去过印度,没去过瓦拉纳西,但听过N个版本对于这个地方的描述。很多的描述里,那里是内心修炼的圣地,感悟生死,获得心灵上的自由。也有很多的版本,充斥着死尸、粪便和疟疾。“有墙就是...

作者在遣词造句上显然强到得心应手,文字传达出的现场感非常强烈,读完的感觉就是看了一场电影。   作者也很偷懒,用一个记者的采访出行为线路,避免了场合更换的衔接,好偷懒……   这是两个分裂开来的故事,但因为爱情与修行终将混乱人的一生,所以两个故事又是彼此...

《杰夫在威尼斯,死亡在瓦拉纳西》的奇特之处,不仅在于其长长的、具模糊识别度的书名,还有它别致的结构。整部书由两部分构成,却不具备常见的连贯性,情节无联系,发生的空间一在威尼斯,一在瓦拉纳西,故事主人公亦无法确认是否同一人,因为头一个故事采全知视角叙事,主...

Part of life is going home, the other part trying to never go home

评分

Venice部分是一切都在上升、蒸腾,最后消失在水汽中;Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸没,最后消融在恒河中。两部分都特别喜欢,看完心情复杂但又在某种程度上是纯粹的觉悟。
