A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
“Salman Rushdie’s great grasp of the human tragicomedy–its dimensions, its absurdities and horrors–has made him one of the most intelligent fiction writers in the English language.”
–Gail Caldwell, The Boston Globe
“Fury is a profoundly, ecstatically affirmative work of fiction. It reaffirms Rushdie’s standing . . . at the very front rank of contemporary literary novelists.”
–Baltimore Sun
Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and world-famous dollmaker, steps out of his life one day, abandons his family in London without a word of explanation, and flees for New York. There’s a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America’s wealth and power, seeking to “erase” himself. But fury is all around him. An astonishing work of explosive energy, Fury is by turns a pitiless and pitch-black comedy, a love story of mesmerizing force, and a disturbing inquiry into the darkest side of human nature.
“Rushdie’s ideas–about society, about culture, about politics–are embedded in his stories and in the interlocking momentum with which he tells them. . . . All of Rushdie’s synthesizing energy, the way he brings together ancient myth and old story, contemporary incident and archetypal emotion, transfigures reason into a waking dream.”
–Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Well, here it is, then, his first 3-D, full-volume American novel, finger-snapping, wildly stupefying, often slyly funny, red-blooded and red-toothed. [Fury] twinkles brightly in tragicomic passages.”
–The Miami Herald
前半本书现代社会造成的fury纠缠着Solanka,记录下90年代光怪陆离的纽约。 后半本Neela的部分奇幻起来,揭示对故国和家庭的执念(也解释了他对儿子的感情),一切愤怒的起源。整体串起来确实可以理解,但那种无尽排比的文风不是每个人都能进入。
评分没有人评论这本吗?Rushdie真的意淫太严重,本书主人公Malik Solanka和Rushdie自身的重合点还蛮多的(比如都一样上剑桥,有个在远方的老婆又有个在近处的情人,功成名就又有钱),本书中的Solanka置身于2000年的世界之都纽约,过着奢侈生活,还有漂亮到"公园里打太极的老头撇了一眼就滑倒"的情人在侧....(隐隐觉得Rushdie可能是不喜欢我天朝);情节属于莫名其妙折腾,值得一看的地方在于这本书是怎样用文字定格了繁华的911前的纽约城。
