看完《奈保尔家书》后真是既感动又羡慕。奈保尔一家不富有,但是幸运又团结。哈佛大学的塔尔博士在他的“幸福公开课”中说,幸福的人并不是不经历痛苦,而是能比较快速的从痛苦、挫折中恢复过来。看完这本书,我觉得幸福的家庭也是一样,他们也需要度过各种各样的难关,像财务...
评分对于奈保尔,看的第一本书是《米格尔街》。 被其吸引是因为别人批评他的那句话,大意是说他庆幸自己的离开,不屑于特立尼达觉得留在那的人都很蠢云云。“从边缘逃往中心,离开无力者投奔有力者。” 相信千千万万个奋力从令人不满的狭隘原生环境中逃离的人,都会对奈保尔的体会...
评分读这本36万字、诺贝尔获奖者的家书,跟最初的期待视野的吻合程度相比大抵是差强人意的。 -每一封家书奈保尔和其父、其长姐都会涉及到吃穿用度。因为家里一共有7个孩子,父母压力不言而喻。奈保尔获奖学金去牛津大学是靠他自己的勤奋努力,但能在英国生存下去顺利地毕业,却是整...
评分从家书中,我们得以一探消息:奈保尔家庭亲情之浓,可见一斑。另外,奈氏的文学之路,我们也略知一二。从牛津留学生到初试啼声的文坛新秀,令人更明了蜚声国际的大作家的早期成长岁月。虽依依稀稀,但已足矣!
评分我猜,很多爱读书的人都对文学创作者的写作生活充满好奇,而这些人又很少谈及自己如何创作。正如我喜欢的一位作家——木心先生,在他的一部谈创作的书——《木心谈木心》中所说:“最杀手的拳,老师不教的——写作的秘密。” 不给学生教的杀手拳,又怎会随便打给普通读者看。...

In 1950, after winning a scholarship from the government of Trinidad, V. S. Naipaul, aged seventeen, left home for the first time. Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This extraordinary collection of letters gives us, as nothing published previously has, an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years.
It is a story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: The young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer and make his way in the world. His beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India. And his melancholy but loving father, whose own broken dream of succeeding as a writer would be realized in the singular achievement of his son.
With the satisfactions of a novel, Between Father and Son portrays a deeply affecting family drama, even as it bears witness to the flowering of one of the great literary geniuses of the century.
