《乌克兰拖拉机简史》,看见书名,一定会吓一跳,这是机械史还是小说?没错,这是小说。而且是获得了以为喜剧小说而设的“波灵格大众伍德豪斯奖”(Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize)的作品,同时也入选2005年的布克奖。 故事开始于八十四岁父亲要与三十六岁“波提切利的出...
评分《乌克兰拖拉机简史》以类似黑色幽默的风格,叙述了发生在老夫少妻身上的荒诞故事。作品的最大看点无疑是对苏联、对共产主义的诙谐嘲讽,穿插了拖拉机发展简史、航空事业发展历程,引发了人们对那个时代悲剧的思考,这个写作体例,跟我之前读过的《蚂蚁革命》有异曲同工之妙。...
评分《乌克兰拖拉机简史》。从未想过这样一本乔装搞笑的书会在阅读到结尾的时候让我热泪盈眶。 这本书让我想起老柴。他1935年出生,18岁的时候,他从成都到青海到杂多最后到了玉树。38岁的时候,他从玉树到了杂多再到了兰州,终于回了成都。48岁的时候,老柴得到了他人生中的第二个...

评分这本书的评,思郁兄《幽默的苦难》一文,最为精彩,很有感触。我只选了一个小角度——父亲前后的两个女人,从小说人物的层面,做了微小解读,算是剧透,供方家一笑。 这本小说里有两个关键人物:死了两年的母亲和性感的乌克兰女郎,她们都是父亲的女人,代表了乌克兰的前世和...

For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.
第一本看完的原版fiction值得纪念(?)
评分Painful to read, but also painfully funny. you floppy dick, you no have good car...

评分Good, though not striking. The pain is there but it's too generational to be personal, and Nadia is just too much a cool observer. Nikolai reminds me of Jim Thorne, a borderline eccentric with an appetite for the wonderfully useless knowledges and an almost legendary past, quite likable, while Vera and Valentina poses as such charismatic tigeresses
评分昨天我半夜终于看完了这本书。过去的荒谬配上喜剧的外衣让人更加心酸了。“活下去就是胜利”
