库切的“Disgrace”中文版叫做“耻”。虽然简明利落,但读完小说就会发觉这个翻译失却了一点味道,因为小说的点睛之处,就在于“grace”怎样被“Dis(否定)”掉。其落魄之情在书的封面就已经开始。 库切擅长于处理落魄。这本书写的是一个“高贵”的知识分子如何高贵地落魄...
评分 评分像托馬斯一樣的心甘情願的“墜落”,卻因為發生在現代文明與“原始社會”的夾縫中而含有了加倍壓抑的成份。盧里想以激情為名,逃離現代文明偽善的社會規範和令人窒息的壓抑,卻更不能接受農場上接近土地、缺少法律約束、依靠自然法則的生存——。更要命的是,他缺少真正的拜...
评分库切是我非常喜欢的一位作家,也是越读越复杂的一位敏于深思的作家。他对人性的深思不仅仅有益于成年人重新对人生保持警觉和反省,即便对于一个在成长中的年轻人来说,对于他们如何深入这个世界,而不是浅尝辄止地批判来说,库切的作品至少不是那种能许多年弃之不顾的文化遗址...

This title includes a reading guide. After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, has an impulsive affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding. For a time, his daughter's influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonize his discordant life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.

评分Only great writers like Coetzee can write about disgrace in a manner both graceful and cruel for us common readers. Included in this tiny novel is the human nature that goes beyond what happens in South Africa, a kind of fate or "blessing" that both counts as grace and disgrace to the flawed mortals.
评分becoming the dog || 干净!但这干净隐约散着血肉模糊的气息。结构精致又带一点杂乱:不少words/phrases(尤其是fire, enriched, smell等)在后文delicately重现多重disgrace互相嵌套;Byron的故事贯穿始终但具有流动感。一个老去男人面对年轻女子作为父亲和爱人两个角色间踌躇的状态;两个种族/社会阶层/道德定义/文化对峙时的失语状态;对原始性冲动本能的崇敬、畏惧、困惑、耻辱层层迭起的互相推攘状态等等都被漂亮地capture了并悬在多次出现的silence中等待裁决。而裁决之过程,伴随着indifference和ultimate longing for love最终迎来了nothingness/despair/surrender.
