Henry Graham Greene OM CH (2 October 1904 – 3 April 1991), better known by his pen name Graham Greene, was an English novelist regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.[3][4] Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels, and of thrillers (or "entertainments" as he termed them). He was shortlisted, in 1966 and 1967, for the Nobel Prize for Literature.[5][6] Through 67 years of writings, which included over 25 novels, he explored the ambivalent moral and political issues of the modern world, often through a Catholic perspective.

"This is a record of hate far more than of love," writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of The End of the Affair. And it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous affair with Sarah Miles -- a hate bred of a passion that ultimately lost out to God. Now, a year after Sarah's death, Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of that passion by retracing its course from obsessive love to lovehate. At the start he believes he hates Sarah and her husband, Henry. By the end of the book, Bendrix's hatred has shifted to the God he feels has broken his life but whose existence he has at last come to recognize. Originally published in 1951, The End of the Affair was acclaimed by William Faulkner as "for me one of the best, most true and moving novels of my time, in anybody's language." This Graham Greene Centennial Edition includes a new introductory essay by Michael Gorra. (From Goodreads)

格林的故事提供瞭一個對話的機製——在框架之間、在符號之間、在愛情與現實之間,這樣的機製於溝通和對抗中充滿瞭悖論感。小說前言引用:“痛苦會進入這些地方,以使它們能夠存在”,痛苦刺破瞭虛無,靈魂從理想墜入現實開始存在。 小說構建的第一個框架是莫裏斯的寫作,格林以...
評分用一個晚上看完這本書,胃部感到陣陣痙攣,像被拳頭打瞭。 閱讀一本書的過程中,不斷地被喚起痛苦,但又隱隱地夾著欣悅。可以用書中這樣一段來迴答:“在痛苦之中,我們似乎會覺察到自己的存在,雖然這種存在的錶現形式是一種畸形的自我中心主義……但是快樂卻會將我們消滅,令...
評分他走瞭。你還停在原地。 你不想轉身,這樣起碼在他消失之前,你還能凝視幾分鍾他的背影。 這樣,他在你的世界裏就能多存在幾分鍾。 一開始,你還保持著愛他的慣性,日日夜夜不管遇到什麼雞毛蒜皮都想告訴他,任何事失去瞭他的關注都似乎變的毫無意義。 而你隻要有一會兒沒想起...

上FreeWill的暑課時被PhD論文寫存在主義的tutor安利的。果然——很贊……而且感覺沒上過那課的話一定會迷失在作者的意識流(most of which are about GOD)中然後落逃……Colin蜀黍的有聲書也是棒極瞭雖然排卡司的話他會更適閤Henry233

評分Colin Firth的有聲書版本。聽完的那一霎那我立刻倒迴,把最後兩個章節再聽瞭一遍。其中對於love and god的意識流描述太迷人瞭,寫齣瞭偵探小說那樣一層層剝繭抽絲的快感(當然有聲書功不可沒,要是閱讀起來恐怕沒那麼容易
