Richard Flanagan (born 1961) is an author, historian and film director from Tasmania, Australia. He was president of the Tasmania University Union and a Rhodes Scholar. Each of his novels has attracted major praise. His first, Death of a River Guide (1994), was short-listed for the Miles Franklin Award, as were his next two, The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997) and Gould's Book of Fish (2001). His earlier, non-fiction titles include books about the Gordon River, student issues, and the story of conman John Friedrich.
Two of his novels are set on the West Coast of Tasmania; where he lived in the township of Rosebery as a child. Death of a River Guide relates to the Franklin River, Gould's Book of Fish to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station, and The Sound of One Hand Clapping to the Hydro settlements in the Central Highlands of Tasmania.
Shortlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize
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.

丁尼生在《尤利西斯》中這樣寫道:“我自己是我全部經曆的一部分,而全部經驗,也隻是一座拱門。”詩句裏,奧德修斯在特洛伊之戰後曆經波摺迴到傢中,那把老骨頭卻仍然在十年漂泊的餘震中咯咯作響,期待再次起航。嚮往未知,不懈奮鬥,熱血未冷,一個英雄。 而理查德·弗蘭納根...

不太喜歡這種炫技式故作深沉的文筆。對我來說本書算是普及瞭下泰緬公路的那段曆史,但愛情綫寫得太直男,實在受不瞭。
評分寫得真好

評分這本紙質書已經買瞭有小幾個月瞭。最初看瞭一會,覺得沒啥意思,就一直擱置至今。今天正好狀態對頭,撿起來就杯咖啡就看進去瞭。我發現,要解碼此書並不容易,需要精力集中並且狀態對頭。否則,書中文字看起來就是亂碼。豐富的細節以神經質的方式突嚕齣來,形神一體,關鍵是怪異。字不夠不說瞭。
