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."""

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...

甫一阅读这本小说,就有了写书评的欲望。不得不说,这个是小说的成功。刚开始看,是在一节摇晃的地铁车厢里。很快就看到了物我两忘的境界。   书名叫《杰夫在威尼斯,死亡在瓦拉纳西》,书名就是如此的抢眼,以至于我根本不用构思其他的题目来写这个书评。在这个注意力被...

前前后后断断续续好像看了两个月。最开始面对着一大堆无比纠结的意大利式的ZB艺术词汇头痛。忍到后来看到熟悉的印度描写,那些rickshaw,那些temple,那些恼人的pestering。很崇拜作者可以以如此幽默以及哲学式的语言写这本书。虽然看到后来愈发地觉得他多多少少在调戏印度的神...  

評分

《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...

還是更喜歡前半部分發生在威尼斯的那個故事。調情的段落寫的尤其精彩啊

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、蒸騰,最後消失在水汽中;Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸沒,最後消融在恒河中。兩部分都特彆喜歡,看完心情復雜但又在某種程度上是純粹的覺悟。

邂逅:2013.6.18. SDA Spell and Bound書店; 旅程:2013.6.20.-2013.6.30.; 地點:德裏各處; Don't like the way it ends and felt it kinda overrated. The capture of prevalent features of Venice and Varanasi is acrimoniously accurate, though.
