A profound novel of cultural displacement, The Mimic Men masterfully evokes a colonial man’s experience in a postcolonial world.
Born of Indian heritage and raised on a British-dependent Caribbean island, Ralph Singh has retired to suburban London, writing his memoirs as a means to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the paradox of his childhood during which he secretly fantasized about a heroic India, yet changed his name from Ranjit Kripalsingh. As he assesses his short-lived marriage to an ostentatious white woman, Singh realizes what has kept him from becoming a proper Englishman. But it is the return home and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governed nation that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment.

評分 評分我們假裝自己是真的 顧文豪 奈保爾說:“十八歲以前,我所瞭解的全部世界就是位於奧裏諾科河口的那個小島,生長在這個狹小的殖民地社會裏,活動範圍限於小島上亞裔印度人群中,常年見到的就是我的傢人。在這小之又小的生活環境裏,我對世界的認識怎麼能不是抽象的呢?” 也就...
