阿瑟·高頓(Arthur Golden),生於美國田納西州查塔努加(Chattanooga),本科畢業於哈佛大學藝術史係,專攻日本藝術。1980年,獲哥倫比亞大學日本史碩士學位,兼修中文。在北京大學進修一個夏季之後,他到東京工作。迴到美國後他在波士頓大學獲英文碩士學位。目前他與妻子和兩個孩子定居馬薩諸塞州布魯剋林。《藝伎迴憶錄》是其發錶的第一部長篇小說。
In this literary tour de force, novelist Arthur Golden enters a remote and shimmeringly exotic world. For the protagonist of this peerlessly observant first novel is Sayuri, one of Japan's most celebrated geisha, a woman who is both performer and courtesan, slave and goddess.
We follow Sayuri from her childhood in an impoverished fishing village, where in 1929, she is sold to a representative of a geisha house, who is drawn by the child's unusual blue-grey eyes. From there she is taken to Gion, the pleasure district of Kyoto. She is nine years old. In the years that follow, as she works to pay back the price of her purchase, Sayuri will be schooled in music and dance, learn to apply the geisha's elaborate makeup, wear elaborate kimono, and care for a coiffure so fragile that it requires a special pillow. She will also acquire a magnanimous tutor and a venomous rival. Surviving the intrigues of her trade and the upheavals of war, the resourceful Sayuri is a romantic heroine on the order of Jane Eyre and Scarlett O'Hara. And Memoirs of a Geisha is a triumphant work - suspenseful, and utterly persuasive.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

在我讀過的為數不多的歐美小說中,《藝妓迴憶錄》算是最對我胃口的一本瞭,可能我的口味太過東方,那種細膩的、娓娓道來的敘述,濃鬱的藝妓文化、東瀛風情,隻言片語裏都有著濃濃的東方味兒。 在一個單追求閱讀快感的普通讀者看來, 這本小說具有足夠的可...
評分沒有看過電影,不知道拍齣來的效果如何,但相信有些書中非常齣彩和重要的地方,是很難用電影錶達齣來的,例如那色彩紛呈眼花繚亂的和服文化,真是讓我嘆為觀止瞭一把。書中對和服的色彩、質地、花樣、款式、穿著方法以及什麼階段穿何種和服描寫得很詳盡生動。(這衣服真美呀,...
評分This is a beautifully written story. I like the language used by geisha. Their job is to "entertain" people, to make people feel pleasant. This is really art in everyday life however in real life people too often don't pay much attention to other people's f...
評分《一個藝妓的迴憶》。 書中我印象最深的,是小百閤詢問真美羽是否對包養她的男爵有感情。 真美羽:“男爵同我的關係,對他來說是很方便的,對我來說是很有利的。如果我們的交往纏上瞭感情……那麼,感情就很快滑進嫉妒,甚至忌恨。我當然經不起某個有權勢的人恨我。...
評分整部小說的劇情其實很簡單,就是一個底層女性奮鬥追求真愛故事,然而帶上瞭藝妓的標簽,總讓人萌生一探究竟的衝動。 藝妓迴憶錄是一個愛情故事,小百閤對愛的追逐,從那杯甜冰開始,她餘生所做的一切都是為瞭接近她心中的那個男人(會長)。 而事實上,故事結束前,小白和總共...
