J.M. Coetzee's full name is John Michael Coetzee. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1940, Coetzee is a writer and critic who uses the political situation in his homeland as a backdrop for many of his novels. Coetzee published his first work of fiction, Dusklands, in 1974. Another book, Boyhood, loosely chronicles an unhappy time in Coetzee's childhood when his family moved from Cape Town to the more remote and unenlightened city of Worcester. Other Coetzee novels are In the Heart of the Country and Waiting for the Barbarians. Coetzee's critical works include White Writing and Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship. Coetzee is a two-time recipient of the Booker Prize and in 2003, he won the Nobel Literature Award.
A searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam Youthis a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. The narrator ofYouth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, studies mathematics, reads poetry, saves money, trying to ensure that when he escapes to the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity and transform it into art. Arriving in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.
《青春》里,发现青春原来都是一样的。 看着他银白的短发,银屑似的胡茬,眼神敏锐、机锋闪烁,穿亚麻西装也不会皱,绅士又冷淡,欠完美的是脸颊轮廓稍显柔和,在书中,他也提及自己模糊的长脸和软弱的嘴唇。不过,当时的他在等待一位爱人将她点燃。望着库切现今的照片,可以对...
评分读完这本书,我想到的第一件事就是,马上去看书架上另外几本库切的书,发现不是同一个译者翻的,舒了一口气。慎用长句啊。 几例: “他们对白人的感情和头脑不感兴趣,肯定更不是几个格格不入的非洲白人的感情和头脑。”(P169) “如何无论多么不可能,每个人最后都找到了...
评分那个冬日的午后,我坐在操场看这本书。阳光柔和,没有力度。我看一会儿就会抬起头来,那些可怜笨拙的念想在心中张望。再低头我就看到了这句话:他的希望是,从他活动于其中的没有特点的人群中会有一个回应他的眼神的女子,一言不发地悄然来到他的身旁。 可她能回应我的眼神吗?...
评分Youth (Scenes From Provincial Life II) J.M.Coetzee Viking 2002 几月前因诺贝尔奖的盛名,读了库切描写南非白人境遇和种族矛盾的小说“耻”,有点儿难以承担书中的压抑感。这本作者二十多岁时在伦敦的移民生活的自传还是妹妹介绍的,虽然库切的语气依然压抑灰色,却有不...
评分《青春》。 我常想着应该把它放进我巨大的黑背包里。朋友说背大包的女孩子没有心事。 可是《青春》里有。 我含混的读库切。含混的读《耻》,又含混的把它们放回书架然后开始下一本。 可是《青春》里的情节开始象个阴谋,混沌的团在我思维的拐角,挥之不...
