by 谷立立 说起都柏林,总是不由自主地想起乔伊斯的《都柏林人》。时至今日,这部以描绘都柏林普通人生的短篇小说集早已成了这座城市最经典的映像之一。爱尔兰作家约翰·班维尔不会不知道这一切。年过70的他怀着强烈的“影响的焦虑”,一边聆听利菲河轻快灵动的声音,一边想象...
评分城市经常化身为文学,以作品的形式被重新书写。狄更斯的伦敦、波德莱尔的巴黎、本雅明的柏林、阿城的威尼斯、王安忆的上海……置身一地,久了,在它的内部就会生发一些藤蔓,与记忆交缠、情感纠葛,无休无止。 20世纪的都柏林,或许是全世界的“乡愁”。思念远方的乡愁,并非文...

For the young John Banville, Dublin was a place of enchantment and yearning. Each year, on his birthday - the 8th of December, Feast of the Immaculate Conception - he and his mother would journey by train to the capital city, passing frosted pink fields at dawn, to arrive at Westland Row and the beginning of a day's adventures that included much-anticipated trips to Clery's and the Palm Beach ice-cream parlour.
The aspiring writer first came to live in the city when he was eighteen. In a once grand but now dilapidated flat in Upper Mount Street, he wrote and dreamed and hoped.
It was a cold time, for society and for the individual - one the writer would later explore through the famed Benjamin Black protagonist Quirke - but underneath the seeming permafrost a thaw was setting in, and Ireland was beginning to change.
Alternating between vignettes of Banville's own past, and present-day historical explorations of the city, Time Pieces is a vivid evocation of childhood and memory - that 'bright abyss' in which 'time's alchemy works' - and a tender and powerful ode to a formative time and place for the artist as a young man.
Accompanied by images of the city by photographer Paul Joyce.
Let us say, the present is where we live, while the past is where we dream. Yet if it is a dream, it is substantial, and sustaining. The past buoys us up, a tethered and ever-expanding hot-air balloon
