評分 評分 評分雖然直到第286頁,紮迪·史密斯纔通過一本偶然找到的《看得見風景的房間》首次提及福斯特,但其實從小說的第一句話開始,史密斯就已經在嚮福斯特緻敬瞭。“我們還是從傑爾姆寫給他父親的電子郵件開始吧”,小說如是開頭;而福斯特在《霍華德莊園》裏的版本是,“我們還是從海...

圖書標籤: ZadieSmith 英國 長篇小說 英文原版 文學 小說 書 Zadie-Smith
2020年美國這個背景讀Zadie Smith 的這本小說覺得格外的貼切。Kiki和Monty 是自由主義者和保守精英的衝突,Levi是激進派,認為有色人種被剝奪的應該通過暴力和財富的再分配奪迴來。傢庭,兒女,中年危機,師生的權力關係,婚姻和愛情的復雜性,熬過三分之一之後小說變得格外的吸引人。
評分極具閱讀快感。把各方麵人物和場麵描繪得異常精彩,甚至衣著和日常瑣事。結構和立場都完美地追隨瞭Forster,雖然情節的某些走嚮對我的趣味而言過於戲劇化。不能說對ongoing culture wars of our time有多少特彆的反思,但做到瞭饒富意味的展示。Zadie Smith是一個稱職的小說傢。
