Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904. He began to write at university and later moved to Berlin, where he gave English lessons to support himself. He witnessed first hand the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany and some of his best works, such as Mr. Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, draw on these experiences. He created the character of Sally Bowles, later made famous as the heroine of the musical Cabaret. Isherwood travelled with W.H Auden to China in the late 1930s before going with him to America in 1939. He died on 4 January 1986.

评分之前先看了Tom Ford的电影,结果入戏太深,失神了两天,一直沉浸在画面回放中无法自拔,以至于爱屋及乌——竟萌生出了要找原著来看的冲动。 有的原著小说俨如电影的剧本,看过电影只觉没有再读它的必要,比如The Reader,但这本书却给了我很大的阅读惊喜,甚至算得上是我读过的...

In this brilliantly perceptive novel, a middle aged professor living in California, is alienated from his students by differences in age and nationality, and from the rest of society by his homosexuality. Isherwood explores the depths of the human soul and its ability to triumph over loneliness, alienation and loss.
這部電影曾經令我對活著感到絕望。電影的許多鏡頭出現在我的小說里。Abel Korzeniowski絕望深入骨髓的配樂也已成為我寫作和閱讀時循環的聲音。這一回終於讀完了原著,即使似懂非懂,還是觸摸到某種浸透紙背的蒼涼。“單身”才是存在最根本的姿態。與他人告別,與世界告別,與自己告別,這是我們共有的命題。
评分"The past is just something that's over." As George said so, he still cannot forget Jim. But he had to move forward with sadness and solitude. It was hard and frustrating.
评分节奏非常非常慢,句子写的挺有意思,vintage这个版本的封面是什么意思,不应是George和Jim吗?为什么是这个女的?

评分Dazzlingly beautiful!!! 首尾分别以醒来(复生)和入睡(死亡)遥相呼应,一个失去恋人孤独存世的中年男人就这样过完了一天,回忆与现实交织,直到最后灯光渐熄,生命就此完结。薄薄的一部小说,却后劲十足。对比一看,Tom Ford的电影还原度真高啊。
