五年前,我曾经在巴西利亚大学跟一个靠行贿混进访问教师公寓居住的尼日利亚留学生做了一段时间的室友,这是我第一次跟黑非洲兄弟走得这么近。这哥们是尼日利亚三大民族(伊博、豪塞、优鲁巴)中的优鲁巴人,虽是学生,但从不见去上课,终日在看电视和无来由的手舞足蹈中愉...
评分一、我们该信仰谁 在白人到来之前,村子里的人们信仰“地母”,这种近乎疯狂与可笑的信仰已经成为人们生存的根基和族群中不可违反的标准。当白人到来之后,一些人的信仰发生了改变,他们开始信上帝,村子也因此而分裂。但不管怎样,村子里的人是不能没有信仰的,信仰是他...
评分1 有的天才作家,文字背后,就其个人生活而言,堪称恶棍。最大的恶棍当然是布考斯基,这个酒鬼、流氓,网上很容易能搜索到他抚摸着赤裸女性的阴部狞笑的照片(未打马赛克)。至于卡佛——他只是一个酒鬼,还够不上恶棍的称呼。 本文要说的奈保尔,与老布比起来,自然逊色,但...

THINGS FALL APART tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.
The story was smooth and beautiful in a particular way. Still, find it difficult to evaluate the aesthetics of a work written by an African who writes in English. What kind of criteria should we adopt?
评分Consistency is a bit off for me?
