The enthralling international bestseller. We are in the center of Paris, in an elegant apartment building inhabited by bourgeois families. RenA(c)e, the concierge, is witness to the lavish but vacuous lives of her numerous employers. Outwardly she conforms to every stereotype of the concierge: fat, cantankerous, addicted to television. Yet, unbeknownst to her employers, RenA(c)e is a cultured autodidact who adores art, philosophy, music, and Japanese culture. With humor and intelligence she scrutinizes the lives of the buildingas tenants, who for their part are barely aware of her existence. Then thereas Paloma, a twelve-year-old genius. She is the daughter of a tedious parliamentarian, a talented and startlingly lucid child who has decided to end her life on the sixteenth of June, her thirteenth birthday. Until then she will continue behaving as everyone expects her to behave: a mediocre pre-teen high on adolescent subculture, a good but not an outstanding student, an obedient if obstinate daughter. Paloma and RenA(c)e hide both their true talents and their finest qualities from a world they suspect cannot or will not appreciate them. They discover their kindred souls when a wealthy Japanese man named Ozu arrives in the building. Only he is able to gain Palomaas trust and to see through RenA(c)eas timeworn disguise to the secret that haunts her. This is a moving, funny, triumphant novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us.

“播種欲望的人會受到壓迫” 有時,成年人似乎會花一些時間坐在椅子上,思考著他們悲慘的一生。他們憑空嘆息,就像總往同一個窗戶上亂撞的蒼蠅,他們搖晃、掙紮、虛弱,最終墜落,他們會捫心自問為何生活會讓他們去他們不想去的地方。 “他們夢想逝去,生命像...
評分 評分《隋唐演義》第七十六迴說過這麼一句,話說“男人有德便是纔,女子無纔便是德,蓋以男子之有德者,或簡有纔,而女子之有纔者,未必有德也。雖然如此說,有纔女子,豈反不如愚婦人?”當女人學會閱讀以後,世上就冒齣瞭婦女問題 ,那是因為讀過書的女人喜歡追問,而追問...

評分刺蝟的優雅,首先我要說,我尊重這個書名,包含著兩個對立麵,即使是刺蝟,也要很優雅。等待這本書,從去年就開始瞭吧,那時還沒上市,與當當上訂不到,書店裏查不到。我等待著這本書,希望真的送來一隻刺蝟,如此優雅。 昨天忽然在浙圖看見三本刺蝟的優雅齊嶄嶄站在書架上,立...

今年讀的最差劣的小說, 還好書是從某旅館偷迴來的
評分There are trillions of poor people prisoned by their meager education, financial anxiety, and unnecessary self-consciousness. It’s scary to be eloquent about Kant and Marx among the bourgeoisie elites who might or might not be as intelligent and sensitive as Madam Michel in a neither sycophant nor condescending way. Leave her alone.
評分17年年底迴國在傢和在飛機上看的。可以說是相當失望吧,不知道在amazon上評分這麼高是不是和女性主題有關係。之前隱隱約約記得說的是兩個女人的事情,可是看到後來,就發現主人公卻是一個日本男性,一齣場就被一種帶有國傢認同感的光環籠罩(齣自我和H的討論)。故事的前2/3始終沒有建立兩個女人的聯係,故事的最後又戛然而止,在邏輯上說不通為什麼女孩會受到如此大的影響。最要不得的是,concierge被描述成飽讀詩書、超有自尊心的女性,但是一和日本人接觸就徹底軟瞭,喪失瞭自我,連說句謝謝都要字斟句酌,為瞭赴約竟然願意穿去世的人的衣服。這個人物塑造太矛盾太失敗瞭。我覺得這種把自己包裝成女權,骨子裏卻是看不起女性,給女性標簽化的東西,纔是最可怕的東西。就好像現在的很多大V,還有我身邊的人一樣。
評分於茫茫的虛無之中,支撐我們繼續探索,等待的,是生命裏一個個意外的刹那。想到《簡愛》裏麵,簡愛的那段長獨白,不美的,貧窮的人,內心裏也有著高貴的自尊。這本書是日記體,很容易陷入大段的自憐,自戀,獨白,腔調很重。故事起瞭轉摺,女門房心裏開始起瞭漣漪的時候,我覺得辛酸又可愛。 大傢都說這是女文青必讀書目。我大概也是這樣自說自話的樣子?
評分灰大嬸的故事。難得一個西方作傢不把東方習俗寫得東倒西歪,我也算欣慰瞭...the touch of orientalism still gets to me, but much better than most other things anyways.
