A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, The Narrow Road To The Deep North is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.
0724-0802 无论是文字还是书本人都堪称优美。即使对战争的残酷有所准备,看完之后也不免觉得压抑。倒因为不是因为战争描写。事实上关于POW的内容并不多,而那些人生的无奈与失落,贯穿着整本书的情绪。
评分2014年读到的最好的小说
评分2014布克奖
评分A life.
评分这是有真正原创性的作品,而不仅是把当下小说的通行范式打磨到极致,所以有许多让人觉得奇怪别扭粗糙的地方,但只有这样的作品才可能在很多年后留下来。我很希望这本书可以留下来,无论文学史怎么写,那场太少被提起的战争至少会被记住。
