Ali Smith is a writer, born in 1962 in Inverness, Scotland, to working-class parents. She was raised in a council house in Inverness and now lives in Cambridge. She studied at Aberdeen, and then at Cambridge, for a Ph.D. that was never finished. In a 2004 interview with writing magazine Mslexia, she talked briefly about the difficulty of becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a year and how it forced her to give up her job as a lecturer at University of Strathclyde to focus on what she really wanted to do: writing. Openly gay, she has been with her partner Sarah Wood for 17 years and dedicates all her books to her.

文图 / 左叔 读英国“新锐女作家”阿莉·史密斯(Ali Smith)的作品《秋》(浙江文艺出版社/王晓英翻译版本),是需要比较充裕的耐心和相对整段不被打扰的阅读时空。这一类偏向于“意识流”的作品对于我而言,进入流畅的阅读状态比较困难,一旦在阅读的中途因为生活琐碎打断之...
评分夏天哥哥秋天妹妹…… 这本书开始看着没头没脑的,却不忍卒读。慢慢的,倒是看出点端倪来了,感觉我的思维仍然停留在故事情结上,情结摸的有点清楚了,才去体会到故事里这个忘年交的情感。 我很喜欢这种情感,成年人把孩子当成成年人一样对待。儿童期快要消逝,少女时间未满,...
评分生存是一个人活着没法去选择的事情,而年龄则是生存的标志,它代表的不仅仅是生存,还有我们逝去的青春,以及回不去的从前。 人总会在不同的时期对自己的人生有不同的感悟,关于生存,关于梦想,关于未来,关于老去,这都是我们抛却不了的话题。我们不得不面对,也必须去面对,...
评分整个村子被一种阴沉的气氛笼罩着。 伊丽莎白路过公交车站不远处的一幢小屋,看到房子的正面从门到窗户上方,一整片都被涂上了几个黑色的大字:滚回家去。 这是最糟糕的时代,这是最糟糕的时代。又在重演。世间种种正在土崩瓦解,过去是这样,将来也是这样,本质使然。 很抱歉,...

A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of very contemporary skulduggery and skull-diggery - Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture, and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.
Autumn is the first installment in Ali Smith's novel quartet Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as the seasons are), exploring what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative.
From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves.
Smith is definitely an author to look out for. Her writing is so unique, observant and creative. I was in treat with playful language.
评分没有重读选项就mark另外一个版本吧。重读还是喜欢啊!
评分又刷了一遍,还是喜欢。老人与女孩的情缘,让人想起"盲龟浮木"的典故,隔着将近七十年的光阴,她爱上了他,一直爱着他,而他在死亡与记忆与梦的边缘逡巡徘徊,终于逆流回返,回向生命,回向她。每个章节的第一句(或半句)都用黑字加粗,一开始还以为连在一起会是诗或歌词,不过大多是提示时间节点,我以为结构上头是collage(拼贴画)的模式,时间碎片打乱重组。不过ali smith自己倒像是给出来了这部作品结构构思的官方答案: p175 Time travel is real, we do it all the time. Moment to moment, minute to minute. 毫无疑问,这本书的构架编排是time -travel,其实开头说的"盲龟浮木"不也是一种time-travel?
评分Love is won. Love is lost. Hope goes hand in hand with hopelessness. A perfect book about nothing, a puckish, flippant celebration of style.
评分We are all time containers, the world is and will always be. We are at the present but the past, the future, the imagined are no alien to us, its an old story so new. 作者解构时间和小说的方式非常有趣,pun玩到飞起 non native speaker还是需要好的翻译帮忙。
