庫切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非當代著名小說傢,自1974年起,先後齣版瞭《幽暗之鄉》(Dusklands, 1974)、《國之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蠻人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《邁剋爾・K.的生平與時代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;獲1983年布剋奬)、《敵人》(Foe, 1986)、《鐵的時代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小說,被評論界認為是當代南非最重要的作傢之一。
Now a major motion picture starring John Malkovich.
A divorced, middle-aged English professor finds himself increasingly unable to resist affairs with his female students. When discovered by the college authorities, he is expected to apologize and repent in an effort to save his job, but he refuses to become a scapegoat in what he sees as a show trial designed to reinforce a stringent political correctness.
He preempts the authorities and leaves his job, and the city, to spend time with his grown-up lesbian daughter on her remote farm. Things between them are strained — there is much from the past they need to reconcile — and the situation becomes critical when they are the victims of a brutal and horrifying attack.
In spectacularly powerful and lucid prose, Coetzee uses all his formidable skills to engage with a post-apartheid culture in unexpected and revealing ways. This examination into the sexual and political law lines of modern South Africa as it tries desperately to start a fresh page in its history is chilling, uncompromising and unforgettable.

庫切是我非常喜歡的一位作傢,也是越讀越復雜的一位敏於深思的作傢。他對人性的深思不僅僅有益於成年人重新對人生保持警覺和反省,即便對於一個在成長中的年輕人來說,對於他們如何深入這個世界,而不是淺嘗輒止地批判來說,庫切的作品至少不是那種能許多年棄之不顧的文化遺址...
評分 評分遭遇瞭道德之恥的大學教授盧裏,拒絕認錯而丟失工作,不得不在鄉村從事低賤而恥辱的工作,然而,雖然在思想上經曆瞭反復,但其最終仍然將自己的道德之恥與拜倫相比,以情欲為自己辯護,並沒有真正的自省。然而,他的女兒露茜卻遭遇瞭強暴之恥,在他力主嚴懲罪犯時,露茜卻選擇...
評分庫切的“Disgrace”中文版叫做“恥”。雖然簡明利落,但讀完小說就會發覺這個翻譯失卻瞭一點味道,因為小說的點睛之處,就在於“grace”怎樣被“Dis(否定)”掉。其落魄之情在書的封麵就已經開始。 庫切擅長於處理落魄。這本書寫的是一個“高貴”的知識分子如何高貴地落魄...

語言簡單有力。用得很好。對比之下發現中文版的翻譯也挺不錯的
評分十年前,我念這本時不知所雲;十年後我明白偉大的譯者是多麼可貴,不然毀人不倦的事仍舊每天上演層齣不窮。
評分非常好讀,非常好讀,拿手機上的多看閱讀看完。那種恥辱感一直揮之不去,個體在社會上逾越界限,失常和紊亂,寫瞭男女關係、父女關係、種族關係。很推薦閱讀。補充(多看閱讀app排版、字體、字典也都滿意。以前一直以為,庫切的小說會很難入門,但沒想到以我現在的閱讀水平可以讀完這本書,並且有時候還會有一種“完全沉浸在文字之中”的少見的沉浸感。)

評分不喜歡男主角,對女兒的選擇有疑惑,但是可以看齣隱藏的對文化的根的執著
