评分 评分“当我死时,我会很想我自己的。” 第一次接触此作者的作品,读了前言,引起无限好奇。因为伊丽莎白•毕肖普翻译过她的作品,而伊是我喜欢的诗人之一,虽然我并不喜欢读诗。 也许本书有作者自我的影子,但读者更应该将其看作是一次对偶尔瞥见、却几乎不认识的自我的探索。 作...
评分 评分#跳蛙看点书# [星辰时刻] 看之前就预料到自己看不懂,看完果然不太懂,这篇克拉丽斯生命最后的小说似乎没有开头,没有高潮,只有讲述者叙说这惨淡的现实,这是一种自述?对自己生平的投影?第一次如此着迷于一篇意识流短文,女孩玛卡贝娅不为自己而活却也不知为何而活,单薄...

The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector’s consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life’s unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Cola, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn’t seem to know how unhappy she should be. As Macabéa heads toward her absurd death, Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator—edge of despair to edge of despair—and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader’s preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leaves us deep in Lispector territory indeed.

评分作者遣词用句,实在有趣。故事近乎为零,所以才能在叙事上玩出如此花样吧。
评分A life that reduced itself to its primitive state. Who can tell if she wasn't needing to die?
评分竟然找到了英文的mobi版! 很喜欢。 摘录: Even as a child he had been a lonely creature who found it difficult to breathe in space. The man from the backwoods is, above all, patient. I find it easy to forgive him.
