朱利安•巴恩斯大名早就听过,然而说的多看得少,终于打开了这本几年前就买好的《柠檬桌子》,网观评价似乎不怎么样,远不如《福楼拜的鹦鹉》,当然后面这本也是在必看list上的,然而终于看完,觉得颇有点震动。 非常非常的喜欢《马茨•伊斯拉埃尔松的故事》,已经很久没...
评分 评分 评分 评分人们害怕死亡,也害怕衰老,而且看起来死亡与衰老正是一枚硬币的两面。然而对死亡的恐惧本质上是抽象的,没有人在活着时体会过死亡,对我们而言死亡真正意味着的是感知的终结、想象力的丧失,一种单调的虚无。在巴恩斯眼里“它就像一个可怕的、无情的、乏味的官僚机构在工作,...
图书标签: JulianBarnes 英国 小说 英国文学 英文原版 英式风趣 短篇 Barnes
In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.
The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-century Sweden, three brief conversations provide the basis for a lifetime of longing. In today’s England, a retired army major heads into the city for his regimental dinner–and his annual appointment with a professional lady named Babs. Somewhere nearby, a devoted wife calms (or perhaps torments) her ailing husband by reading him recipes.
In stories brimming with life and our desire to hang on to it one way or another, Barnes proves himself by turns wise, funny, clever, and profound–a writer of astonishing powers of empathy and invention.
Great book about aging, death, and retrospect of love and life. 越来越爱Barnes了。渐入佳境、不得不连读了两遍的几篇:The Revival (主角是屠格涅夫...),Bark, Vigilance (很有意思的古典乐爱好者独白),The Silence (写的是西贝柳斯?似乎Barnes也是他的粉丝;Vigilance里也提到了他的violin concerto).

评分Stories about aging and death. 人生步入老年时刻的各种压抑瞬间 相恋而无法在一起的人 最后因为不适宜的话让长达几十年的secret love瞬时瓦解 坐在咖啡店里 自顾自回忆的寡妇们甚至分不清坐在对面的人是fiend还是只是Ally 结婚五十年后丈夫突然宣布要离开妻子与邻居生活 现实?疑惑?荒谬否?Both. 老年并不等同与安乐与幸福 故事里模糊 细碎的细节才是真正的老年生活 the silence里面关于音乐与寂静关联的部分非常喜欢 最后 death is around the corner这句觉得莫名朋克
评分难懂TAT 而且发现中文的也看不懂。。
评分I’m the adopted daughter of your words. They all harken back to a time where hope was still, in a tragic kind of way, possible.
