I’d met someone just like Macabéa in real life - incompetent, aimless, hollow and rootless. The encounterance is always awful and I’m always on the verge of losing patience and feeling guilty afterwards. Nevertheless, these ‘guilt’ apparently weights l...
评分玛卡贝娅的生命是一场漫长的、干瘪的性高潮。她是那么的弱小,空无,缺乏活力,仿佛她的存在只是即将在阳光下变为透明的虚影,可这虚影又那么的广阔,包容着整块受苦的土地。在那几乎就要消失不见的灵魂中,蕴含着一种绵延不绝的吐息,绽放在接近死亡的最后一刻。死亡给了她解...

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.
lispector临终前的一本,the most empathetic clarice。Still the death, the vomiting, the bodiliness,但是都更温柔。could have ended a little bit earlier - “you accept anything because you‘ve kissed the wall.”
评分技巧、品味、文字风格都是有的,南美版卖火柴的小女孩之类。只是完全不对我的胃。两星不是说书的水平。客观来说三星差不多有。两星是我的阅读体验。-_- 本来想音乐节时跟Tiago他们吹吹,最近看了他们一本小说之类。既然打了两星,还是不要开口了。[开篇竟然逼逼了15页才“缓缓”开讲,以至于到最后看到“好了,我要开讲了”就知道她肯定又要绕到别处去,已经隐约在抓狂。如果不是火车晚点困于车站肯定早就扔掉了。]
评分很意识流,到最后看得不细致,有点飘忽,竟然还看哭了。
