评分《猫的桌子》是加拿大作家迈克尔•翁达杰的一部以自己的人生经历为蓝本写下的自传体似的小说,描述十一岁的男孩迈克尔独自坐游轮前往英国的一段旅程。在这二十一天的海上航行之中,他结识了两位好友,了解了猫桌上的陌生人,开启了一番属于自己的冒险,那是一场属于青春的出...
评分翁达杰是一位独特的作家。 第一次与他相遇,实在《身着狮皮》,那本书的故事,在我的印象中有些粗粝,人物有着等级,看到后半,感觉都有点写革命者的意味。 《猫桌》显得与《身着狮皮》明显不同。 在《猫桌》中,翁达杰给我们讲述的是一个11岁的孩子在船上的20余天,讲述一个...

In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table”—as far from the Captain’s Table as can be—with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: one man talks with them about jazz and women, another opens the door to the world of literature. The narrator’s elusive, beautiful cousin Emily becomes his confidante, allowing him to see himself “with a distant eye” for the first time, and to feel the first stirring of desire. Another Cat’s Table denizen, the shadowy Miss Lasqueti, is perhaps more than what she seems. And very late every night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and his fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever.
As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy’s adult years, it tells a spellbinding story—by turns poignant and electrifying—about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.

评分可以和巴恩斯的《终结的意义》对照来读,这本书就是《开始的意义》。当然,是一段人生的开始。一本略显乏味的小书,不是昂达奇的最高水准。
