American Dream的恐怖之處是真的把這種精神直接與America掛鉤,否則隻是個Idealism的Fundamentalist問題應該不會太大。

The Reluctant Fundamentalist 在線電子書 圖書描述

Mohsin Hamid's first novel, Moth Smoke, dealt with the confluence of personal and political themes, and his second, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, revisits that territory in the person of Changez, a young Pakistani. Told in a single monologue, the narrative never flags. Changez is by turns naive, sinister, unctuous, mildly threatening, overbearing, insulting, angry, resentful, and sad. He tells his story to a nameless, mysterious American who sits across from him at a Lahore cafe. Educated at Princeton, employed by a first-rate valuation firm, Changez was living the American dream, earning more money than he thought possible, caught up in the New York social scene and in love with a beautiful, wealthy, damaged girl. The romance is negligible; Erica is emotionally unavailable, endlessly grieving the death of her lifelong friend and boyfriend, Chris.

Changez is in Manila on 9/11 and sees the towers come down on TV. He tells the American, "...I smiled. Yes, despicable as it may sound, my initial reaction was to be remarkably pleased... I was caught up in the symbolism of it all, the fact that someone had so visibly brought America to her knees..." When he returns to New York, there is a palpable change in attitudes toward him, starting right at immigration. His name and his face render him suspect.

Ongoing trouble between Pakistan and India urge Changez to return home for a visit, despite his parents' advice to stay where he is. While there, he realizes that he has changed in a way that shames him. "I was struck at first by how shabby our house appeared... I was saddened to find it in such a state... This was where I came from... and it smacked of lowliness." He exorcises that feeling and once again appreciates his home for its "unmistakable personality and idiosyncratic charm." While at home, he lets his beard grow. Advised to shave it, even by his mother, he refuses. It will be his line in the sand, his statement about who he is. His company sends him to Chile for another business valuation; his mind filled with the troubles in Pakistan and the U.S. involvement with India that keeps the pressure on. His work and the money he earns have been overtaken by resentment of the United States and all it stands for.

Hamid's prose is filled with insight, subtly delivered: "I felt my age: an almost childlike twenty-two, rather than that permanent middle-age that attaches itself to the man who lives alone and supports himself by wearing a suit in a city not of his birth." In telling of the janissaries, Christian boys captured by Ottomans and trained to be soldiers in the Muslim Army, his Chilean host tells him: "The janissaries were always taken in childhood. It would have been far more difficult to devote themselves to their adopted empire, you see, if they had memories they could not forget." Changez cannot forget, and Hamid makes the reader understand that--and all that follows. --Valerie Ryan

A Conversation with Mohsin Hamid

Set in modern-day Pakistan, Mohsin Hamid's debut novel, Moth Smoke, went on to win awards and was listed as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His bold new novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, is a daring, fast-paced monologue of a young Pakistani man telling his life story to a mysterious American stranger. It's a controversial look at the dark side of the American Dream, exploring the aftermath of 9/11, international unease, and the dangerous pull of nostalgia. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons shared an e-mail exchange with Mohsin Hamid to talk about his powerful new book

有一天,一位美国公民来到了巴基斯坦拉合尔市的某家茶馆,在他打算吃顿便饭就离开的时候,我们的主人公——一位餐厅痴汉出现了。他牢牢揪住这个美国人进行了一番长篇大论的独白,深情地讲述了他曾经为之奋斗的美国梦,以及这个梦最后破灭的过程:他是如何意气风发的从普林斯顿...

“对不起,先生,能帮你什么忙吗?啊,我看出来了,我让您受惊了。不用为我的大胡子而感到害怕,我是一个热爱美国的人。”入围2007年布克奖短名单的小说《拉合尔茶馆的陌生人》这样开头。这本仅有178页的小说是一篇独白,或者说对话——但作为听众的美国人的声音被隐去,小说唯...  

評分

中文書名取作拉合爾茶館的陌生人其實跟原書名完全不同,不過對中文讀者而言,顯然是這個名字比較更能討喜、親近。拉合爾 (Lahore) 在那裡?它是巴基斯坦的第二大城市,人口約300萬,它是蒙兀兒王朝的首都,現存有世界最大的清真寺之一。      書一開始就是一名巴基斯坦男子...
