最近北京的天又渐渐地蓝了起来。前几年,相比小时的记忆,北京的天色显得十分单调。不见了土黄的沙尘暴和湛蓝的秋高气爽、黎明时的鱼肚白或是晴夜里的深湛星空。取而代之的是一年四季的灰色。神似艾略特诗中伦敦的模样,沉重的灰暗空气像是有着生命,用身体挤压着窗扇,也挤压...
评分世人都瞧不起懦夫,崇拜英雄。 懦夫只为了自己能够活下来,唯唯诺诺,尽所有丧尽尊严之事都可以。英雄则为了理想或者是其它崇高的事物,毅然决然的不惜以生命为代价去追求。在文学作品中,歌颂英雄和英雄主义是永恒的主题。 但在《时间的噪音》中,歌颂的却是一位懦夫。 他...
评分借到这本书到读完,不到两小时。我在肯德基读它,在地铁上读它,在老肖自己弹奏的钢琴三重奏中读它。 德米特里·肖斯塔科维奇人生中的三个致命时刻,三个他在内心死去过一次的时刻。 他带着行李箱守在电梯口等待被逮捕的时刻。 他在纽约遭受质询,道德和自尊被凌迟处死的时刻。...

A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music. Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovich’s career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.
To be Russian was to be pessimistic; to be Soviet was to be optimistic. That was why the words Soviet Russia were a contradiction in terms.
评分Presumably Barnes at his best.
