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

評分前半本書現代社會造成的fury糾纏著Solanka,記錄下90年代光怪陸離的紐約。 後半本Neela的部分奇幻起來,揭示對故國和傢庭的執念(也解釋瞭他對兒子的感情),一切憤怒的起源。整體串起來確實可以理解,但那種無盡排比的文風不是每個人都能進入。
評分沒有人評論這本嗎?Rushdie真的意淫太嚴重,本書主人公Malik Solanka和Rushdie自身的重閤點還蠻多的(比如都一樣上劍橋,有個在遠方的老婆又有個在近處的情人,功成名就又有錢),本書中的Solanka置身於2000年的世界之都紐約,過著奢侈生活,還有漂亮到"公園裏打太極的老頭撇瞭一眼就滑倒"的情人在側....(隱隱覺得Rushdie可能是不喜歡我天朝);情節屬於莫名其妙摺騰,值得一看的地方在於這本書是怎樣用文字定格瞭繁華的911前的紐約城。
