In Waiting, Ha Jin portrays the life of Lin Kong, a dedicated doctor torn by his love for two women: one who belongs to the New China of the Cultural Revolution, the other to the ancient traditions of his family s village. Ha Jin profoundly understands the conflict between the individual and society, between the timeless universality of the human heart and constantly shifting politics of the moment. With wisdom, restraint, and empathy for all his characters, he vividly reveals the complexities and subtleties of a world and a people we desperately need to know.--Judges Citation, National Book Award"Ha Jin s novel could hardly be less theatrical, yet we re immediately engaged by its narrative structure, by its wry humor and by the subtle, startling shifts it produces in our understanding of characters and their situation."--The New York Times Book Review"Subtle and complex--his best work to date. A moving meditation on the effects of time upon love."--The Washington Post"A high achievement indeed."--Ian Buruma, The New York Review of Books"A portrait of Chinese provincial life that terrifies with its emptiness even more than with its all-pervasive vulgarity. The poet in [Jin] intersperses these human scenes with achingly beautiful vignettes of natural beauty."--Los Angeles Times"A simple love story that transcends cultural barriers--. From the idyllic countryside to the small towns in northeast China, Jin s depictions are filled with an earthy poetic grace--. Jin s account of daily life in China is convincing and rich in detail."--The Chicago Tribune"Compassionate, earthy, robust, and wise, Waiting blends provocative allegory with all-too-human comedy. The result touches and reveals, bringing to life a singular world in its spectacular intricacy."--Gish Jen, author of Who s Irish?"A remarkable love story. Ha Jin s understanding of the human heart and the human condition transcends borders and time. Waiting is an outstanding literary achievement."--Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain
满纸压抑。故事的进行是一个缓慢的消耗过程,结尾才显出被消耗的人生不过是个掏空了的笑话。在那个时代的知识者身上写着太多的不敢和不能,不是你想象着重启革命就能改天换地的。文学艺术可以丰富人的感觉,而这与搞政治经济斗争的需求截然相反。
评分读这本书的几天里,我的感受心态有个缓慢而有趣的调整。
评分语言有时候奇怪了点,比如small friends...小朋友。但其实故事还是不错的我觉得。
评分久闻大名,第一次读哈金。在复杂的人性纠结中, 史诗般的呈现了“吾国吾民”的辛酸、挣扎与折磨,仅以日常生活的寻常甚至必然场景,没有任何刻意之处,就呈现了一部跌宕起伏的大作。开始读会觉得略显平淡,越读到后来作品的力量开始肆无忌惮的呈现,以至于昨晚读到深夜不能自拔。芦苇曾形容说在哈金的书中读到久违的经典的味道,深表认同,此书绝对是这个时代的华裔作家留下的经典。比之余华的《活着》,技巧更加纯熟,力透纸背。
评分菜等得久了就感觉酸了,一个圆绕了一大圈,最后发现回到了原点。人经常是觉得自己得不到的才是最好,于是不惜去抗争、苦等以追求,到手后却发现其实也不过如此,甚至还不如原来的被自己丢弃了的东西强。简直是无事生非,等把一切都想明白了,也晚了。这就和钱钟书的《围城》有点不谋而合。男女主人公视角自由切换,整篇故事有一种被细密布过局之后的大气和戏剧感。原本我以为《等待》讲得是男女主人公为了恋情苦苦等待十八年的故事,看到结尾才发现其实并不关乎男主的,是两个女人为了一个无能力去爱的男人苦苦等待,而男主其实并不懂、也不需要爱。而男主则是被自己对爱情的幻想蒙蔽了头脑,世上本无事,庸人自扰之。
