Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of four previous novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.

這部作品,作者充分展示瞭他的隱喻技巧。以講故事見長的石黑一雄,在這部作品中先是將一個具有完整輪廓的故事打碎成記憶的殘片,再將隱喻賦予到人物,情節和對白上,使故事不再隻是一個簡單的故事,而是時時刻刻具有強烈的精神指嚮。故事的一根主綫推動所有錶麵碎片的情節嚮前...
評分《我輩孤雛》是我看的第四本石黑一雄小說。看到80%,我已經抑製不住吐槽的衝動瞭,等看完連吐槽的興趣都沒有瞭。 故事如下:一個英國小孩生活在上海租界,與鄰居日本小孩是朋友。一天,他爸跟情婦跑瞭,但他認為他爸是為瞭反抗帝國主義霸權被綁架瞭。又過瞭一陣,他媽媽被一個...
評分 評分 評分《我輩孤雛》,一本有著極佳名字的書。但是看完並不會讓人心曠神怡,甚至還會有一種揮之不去的憂國憂民的悲傷。 從倫敦到上海,我不知道1937年的上海到底什麼樣子,所以我不知道石黑一雄是否描述準確。但是讀起來,我總覺得有一種魔幻,一種無法置信的抗拒感,或者有好像哪裏不...

But for those like us, our fate is to face the world as orphans, chasing through long years the shadows of vanished parents.
評分My favorite Ishiguro work
評分如果是混亂的記憶導緻瞭故事的混亂,一切似乎都可原諒。但是內心還是無法接受。
評分Of course it turns out to have nothing to do with my research and the entire set-up has some intrinsic problems, but a good read nonetheless
評分Started from Pingshe guest house, then on the train from Dali to Kunming and Kunming to Xiangyang. half done! Dreamed of the mather of hero after finished this book, so sorrow and you are unable to leave it behind after you closed the book. The most exciting part is the end of this novel! You can't help but moved by it!!!
