我被库切《耶稣的童年》这本书的题目吸引住了,只是无意中一瞥,但本应该忙于其他工作的我还是立即买了这本书来读。读到三分之一的时候想弃书来着,一种说不清道不明的情绪让我一直读完。本来不太习惯写未形成较成熟想法的书评,但这次破例想先留下一点思考。 我倾向于认为库...
评分节日里看了5本书,包括2本重读的书(流浪的星星、玩的就是心跳),2本库克的书,1本 J.K.罗琳化名 写的推理小说布谷鸟的呼唤(写的很糟糕)。 库克并不是一个我喜爱的作家。他属于非常冷静的作家,我还是喜欢有激情的作家。当然这并不妨碍我认同他是个好作家。 两部作品都是他...
评分他和她。 一个是贫家子弟,一个是娇宠千金。一个瘦瘦高高,皮肤黝黑;一个弱不禁风,面色白皙。 他们操着各自县城的乡音,不约而同地来到了北京。 某一天,在后海的一家小酒吧里,他和她相遇了。他独自一人,她身边也无伴。 “一个人啊?” “你不也是么?” 他俩尝试用...
评分有人说,库切的《耶稣的童年》名虽如此,却与耶稣的童年没什么关系。我读完了,感觉不仅有关系,而且关系相当之大,假如你手旁有本《圣经》,不妨参详一二。 首先书中小童的名字,被某国的收留机构随意起了个编号似的名字——大卫。大卫是谁?约瑟的先祖。约瑟是谁?木匠,耶...

After crossing oceans, a man and a boy arrive in a new land. Here they are each assigned a name and an age, and held in a camp in the desert while they learn Spanish, the language of their new country. As Simon and David they make their way to the relocation centre in the city of Novilla, where officialdom treats them politely but not necessarily helpfully.
Simon finds a job in a grain wharf. The work is unfamiliar and backbreaking, but he soon warms to his stevedore comrades, who during breaks conduct philosophical dialogues on the dignity of labour, and generally take him to their hearts.
Now he must set about his task of locating the boy's mother. Though like everyone else who arrives in this new country he seems to be washed clean of all traces of memory, he is convinced he will know her when he sees her. And indeed, while walking with the boy in the countryside Simon catches sight of a woman he is certain is the mother, and persuades her to assume the role.
David's new mother comes to realise that he is an exceptional child, a bright, dreamy boy with highly unusual ideas about the world. But the school authorities detect a rebellious streak in him and insist he be sent to a special school far away. His mother refuses to yield him up, and it is Simon who must drive the car as the trio flees across the mountains.
The Childhood of Jesus is a profound, beautiful and continually surprising novel from a very great writer.
以为看到现在已经完全掌握了库切,以为再读只是加深理解,不会再遇到完全未知的领域,但这本书就像Giovanni Bellini的Sacred Allegory -- inexplicable, disturbing, not of this world.
评分怎么会有库切这样这么适合我的作家
评分这是一个抛去了装饰、不乐于前进的城市,没有目的,没有贪婪,只有善意,秩序,随遇而安,清心寡欲。(难道就没有那么一点,让人向往吗?)可是异乡人西蒙无法洗净身上的记忆与本性与颜色,童年大卫也无法屈服于公用的语言、公用的规范。语言在孩子口中回到了初始的、混沌的、自创的、未经调和的、无需臣服的状态,满嘴跑火车的“妄想”也让不同人眼中的现实的裂缝得到审视。但是对规范的质疑、拒绝承认也意味着隔离、驱逐。书的开头说「Here as opposed to where? There is nowhere else to be but here.」而书的结尾变成了「That's all. Looking for somewhere to stay, to start our new life.」不振奋人心吗?
评分天堂说西班牙 -- 库切最近出的"Jesus"三部曲的最后一部The Death of Jesus最先发行的也不是英语而是西班牙语版。这种小说超世的仙气,最近还是在李翊云的Where Reasons End 里才读到。
评分"'... Now show us how you write. Write, Conviene que yo diga la verdad, I must tell the truth. Write it. Con-viene.' Writing from left to right, forming the letters clearly if slowly, the boy writes: Yo soy la verdad, I am the truth."
