One of the most celebrated writers of our time gives us his first cycle of short fiction: five brilliantly etched, interconnected stories in which music is a vivid and essential character.
A once-popular singer, desperate to make a comeback, turning from the one certainty in his life . . . A man whose unerring taste in music is the only thing his closest friends value in him . . . A struggling singer-songwriter unwittingly involved in the failing marriage of a couple he’s only just met . . . A gifted, underappreciated jazz musician who lets himself believe that plastic surgery will help his career . . . A young cellist whose tutor promises to “unwrap” his talent . . .
Passion or necessity—or the often uneasy combination of the two—determines the place of music in each of these lives. And, in one way or another, music delivers each of them to a moment of reckoning: sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes just eluding their grasp.
An exploration of love, need, and the ineluctable force of the past, Nocturnes reveals these individuals to us with extraordinary precision and subtlety, and with the arresting psychological and emotional detail that has marked all of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed works of fiction.

圖書標籤: 石黑一雄 Ishiguro 小說 音樂 英文原版 英國 短篇 小說
英文念瞭前三篇,後兩篇讀的中譯。
評分沒想到石黑一雄的短篇這麼有意思。最喜歡第四個故事,主人公和他朋友的電話對話太可愛瞭,一個英國人寫起美國味兒的對話,也是毫不違和啊。
評分語言像貝斯一樣托起每一個故事,像靜謐的威尼斯運河流水,薩剋斯在窗邊,人在貢多拉上。各種樂隊reference看得不亦樂乎,輕巧美麗的5個音樂小短片。
評分挺美的
評分“If he comes back to the square, and I’m not playing, l’ll go over and have a word with him.”
