Wani和"the folding star" 里的Luc一样,像一种外表艳丽,而内里已经腐坏的果子。NICK向凯瑟琳讲述wani种种的癖好的时候,喜欢找陌生人3P,喜欢尖叫,喜欢porn,玩笑的语气里其实是有种无奈和酸楚的吧。虽然名正言顺是他的情人,可是他仍然对wani无力掌握,爱而不得(如Ed对Luc...
评分 评分长得越大,越不容易入心。 从16岁到24岁,好像整个审美观都没有长进。先是日本,后是英国。而这两者其实也没有本质的差别,同是岛国,同闷骚,同不留出口。 最近看毕的《never let me go》,不甘心而看了第二遍,仍然泪流不止,因它设定太过狡诈,根本没有退路可言;这同我看...

In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: conservative Member of Parliament Gerald, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their two children, Toby-whom Nick had idolized at Oxford-and Catherine, highly critical of her family's assumptions and ambitions. As the boom years of the eighties unfold, Nick, an innocent in the world of politics and money, finds his life altered by the rising fortunes of this glamorous family. His two vividly contrasting love affairs, one with a young black clerk and one with a Lebanese millionaire, dramatize the dangers and rewards of his own private pursuit of beauty, a pursuit as compelling to Nick as the desire for power and riches among his friends. Richly textured, emotionally charged, disarmingly comic, this U.K. bestseller is a major work by one of our finest writers.
我真的很喜欢他,边读边想起Henry James,绝对值得一读的好书。
评分电视剧先入为主,自动带入大表哥的脸,简直无法直视nick,哎。小说本身,对于社会的人情世故,人类的心理的阴暗角落,太敏锐细致
评分看完。然後劇集也看完。短短三集的劇把整一本小說改編,雖然不是特備滿意,但是基本還原。細節描寫有時候我看的都有些羞恥PLAY了,但是不愧是細膩手筆。A story of love, class, sex and money in the Thatcherite 1980s。學校-社會,衝突點抓的很有味道。
评分结局看了心酸
