文 / 芮娜 本书是《英国病人》作者迈克尔·翁达杰的新作《战时灯火》,在书的腰封上,我们可以看到它的宣传语是“诺贝尔奖得主石黑一雄熟读到可以背出来的书”。其实石黑一雄对翁达杰及其作品的喜爱几乎人尽皆知。据说,石黑一雄熟读《战时灯火》到可以随口说出书中细节的程度...
评分《战时灯火》是我阅读过的第二本迈克尔·翁达杰作品,之前那本是《英国病人》。如果说两者有一些相似之处,那么首先是背景,都是采用第二次世界大战来展开故事;其次是都包含有阶级或种族的冲突,上将与平民、移民与土著;再就是对于孤独和抑郁的刻画,类似病人与孤儿。当然,...
评分 评分(文章见于晶报深港书评) 文/俞耕耘 翁达杰曾说,他写小说就像抽丝剥茧的考古,呈现过去,重返现在。这其实是自诩一种才华:让想象逼近现实,使细节变为结构,承载生活。这位获得金布克奖的作家,以《英国病人》一书闻名于世。2018年,小说《战时灯火》入围布克奖,再次显示了...

From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
封面很传神了:故事中加上迷雾、噪点,是伦敦的基调是战争的暗涌。作者的笔触是往故事上营造其颗粒感,过期胶卷与双重曝光。初期如同爱丽丝漫游仙境般,有种探险的刺激感。随着故事往前推进,就不再是一场愉悦的冒险了。是英国病人的味道(并未读过其他小说),语言依旧很美,但更为致郁一些。没想到后面还有讲到……布局也是很精心。有时候确实是能猜到故事的走向,所以可能略有点刻意。
评分又被捧得那么高?冲着作者的名气,逼着自己看完1/3,实在写的一般。形散不要紧,神也散。想要说明什么呢?通过Nathan的眼睛在观察出现在他身边的一些人物,so what?一点也没意思。如果要这样看完80%,再憋个大招的话,实在憋不住。弃了。
评分一口气看完了。喜欢!保留了英国病人的诗一样的语言和精美的记忆片段拼接图一样的讲述方法,但是故事比英国病人要紧凑易读。fascinating to see his characters in the city...
评分太喜欢Olive了,在二战和冷战接连不断的创伤中,她就是自由和鲜活的化身,极尽洒脱~~真正的自由,是把自己还给自己。
评分读翁达杰的文字需要耐心和智慧,看透碎片式叙述之后藏着的那些联系,如同最后发现的Agnes缝好挂在墙上的毯子,full of codes and unspoken agonies. 虽然跟英国病人的宏大比,这本关于冷战的谍战小说有些重复,但有那么几句话,让人心头一紧。 We change, we evolve. We are what we are for all our sufferings and mistakes in the past. 结尾那段宛若对这本小说呓语般叙述方式的反映:We order our lives with barely held stories. As if we have been lost in a confusing landscape.
