读了很多Goodreads上的评论,发现许多人对此书的情节不感冒,大多是因为作为小说,情节并不像大众小说那么生动,而且涵盖许多人文方面的思考。作为心理学主修又爱漫无目的地走,喜欢听古典音乐然后思考很多很多(和本书主人公结婚算了……),我无疑从本书第一行就深深被Teju C...

评分Teju的处女作,但是他试图用文学去确认个体在历史、文明和政治中的地位与角色,娓娓到来的文字其实是对所谓西方文明的质疑甚至是责问。而他对个人生活的回忆和描述则是凸现个体生命在历史长河中无可比拟替代的孤独感。 他很年轻,前途不可限量。

“The past, if there is such a thing, is mostly empty space, great expanses of nothing, in which significant persons and events float. Nigeria was like that for me: mostly forgotten, except for those few things that I remembered with outsize intensity.”
Along the streets of Manhattan, a young Nigerian doctor doing his residency wanders aimlessly. The walks meet a need for Julius: they are a release from the tightly regulated mental environment of work, and they give him the opportunity to process his relationships, his recent breakup with his girlfriend, his present, his past. Though he is navigating the busy parts of town, the impression of countless faces does nothing to assuage his feelings of isolation.
But it is not only a physical landscape he covers; Julius crisscrosses social territory as well, encountering people from different cultures and classes who will provide insight on his journey—which takes him to Brussels, to the Nigeria of his youth, and into the most unrecognizable facets of his own soul.
A haunting novel about national identity, race, liberty, loss, dislocation, and surrender, Teju Cole’s Open City seethes with intelligence. Written in a clear, rhythmic voice that lingers, this book is a mature, profound work by an important new author who has much to say about our country and our world.
作者前面观察、思考着大型人类灾难和罪证,偶尔强说愁来介绍自己的身世,最后介绍了一位女性victim,和前面的大历史叙述形成了强烈的反差,用尼采的精神草草做总结。面对受难的态度 就该是手握烧炭么?最后的音乐会也是一个很好的基督教space。
评分very good
评分Death is a perfection of the eye. 散步漫想。开篇有提到群鸟飞过天空,结尾处自由女神像想到很多鸟撞死在这里。邻居太太的死,教授的死,外婆的杳无音讯,这座城市曾经埋葬的黑奴。主人公遇见同学姐姐这段提到的尼采手上的伤疤没太看懂,是要表达某种痛苦吗?
评分万万没想到,你这个浓眉大眼的,竟然还叛变了革命!
评分无比流畅的自言自语。
