These three internationally acclaimed novels have confirmed Agota Kristof's reputation as one of the most provocative exponents of new-wave European fiction. With all the stark simplicity of a fractured fairy tale, the trilogy tells the story of twin brothers, Claus and Lucas, locked in an agonizing bond that becomes a gripping allegory of the forces that have divided "brothers" in much of Europe since World War II. Kristof's postmodern saga begins with The Notebook, in which the brothers are children, lost in a country torn apart by conflict, who must learn every trick of evil and cruelty merely to survive. In The Proof, Lucas is challenging to prove his own identity and the existence of his missing brother, a defector to the "other side." The Third Lie, which closes the trilogy, is a biting parable of Eastern and Western Europe today and a deep exploration into the nature of identity, storytelling, and the truths and untruths that lie at the heart of them all. "Stark and haunting." - The San Francisco Chronicle; "A vision of considerable depth and complexity, a powerful portrait of the nobility and perversity of the human heart." - The Christian Science Monitor.

評分Lucas, Claus 字母一樣,看的過程中好久都以為是臆想的雙重人格
評分Sad stories,但是卻是大愛
評分《惡童日記》再次印證瞭偉大的小說根本不靠辭藻和噱頭。跟米蘭昆德拉一樣,Agota Kristof也逃離瞭故土,中年開始用法語寫作;從譯本也可以間接看齣用非母語進行文學創作的挑戰性。但語言上的相對稚嫩,如果運用得當,會有意想不到的戲劇效果:《惡童日記》第一部分是雙胞胎主角的日記,它給我帶來的震撼第一是戰爭的殘酷,第二是敘述者有著與年紀不符的成熟、冷漠、甚至凶殘。第二部分雙胞胎被邊境分隔,用第三人稱講述獨自留在傢鄉的Lucas的麯摺故事。第三部分乾脆徹底把前麵的敘事推翻,讓讀者睏惑,哪個敘事者說的是真話?直到最後纔道齣全部真相。可這時你會發現,現實的絕望已經遠遠超過瞭謊言(或者戲中戲)的殘酷。
評分Translated into the most simple English, I finished the whole book in 4 days! But this is one of the most thought-provoking book I've read so far. The beginning was cruel, chaotic, hellish...but when you start the 3rd part, the true tragic story hidden behind start to unravel itself, leaving a sad bitter trail in my head...
