“A stranger could drive through Miguel Street and just say ‘Slum!’ because he could see no more.” But to its residents this derelict corner of Trinidad’s capital is a complete world, where everybody is quite different from everybody else. There’s Popo the carpenter, who neglects his livelihood to build “the thing without a name.” There’s Man-man, who goes from running for public office to staging his own crucifixion, and the dreaded Big Foot, the bully with glass tear ducts. There’s the lovely Mrs. Hereira, in thrall to her monstrous husband. In this tender, funny early novel, V. S. Naipaul renders their lives (and the legends their neighbors construct around them) with Dickensian verve and Chekhovian compassion.
Set during World War II and narrated by an unnamed–but precociously observant–neighborhood boy, Miguel Street is a work of mercurial mood shifts, by turns sweetly melancholy and anarchically funny. It overflows with life on every page.
《米格尔街》是奈保尔早期的书,它更质朴,但绝不欠缺深度。简单的语言,令人笑了哭、哭了笑。 我读这本书特别有感觉。 我并未在米格尔街上生活过,但我在十五岁之前,除了偶尔去市里以及去过一次北京之外,只待过一个小镇,那是一个江边小镇。我的很多亲戚同学至今仍然生活在...

评分读这本书真的很开心,叙述幽默而充满生活味。虽然说是底层的生活,虽然是一条贫穷的街,但是每个人对待命运的态度都很特别,而且并不世俗化,反之充满理想主义。 博加特超喜欢占卜,总是站在街边炫耀他的美酒,他什么事也不做,却挂了个牌子说自己是个手艺很好的裁缝,他常...
评分 评分叙事模式很容易让人联想起Winesburg, Ohio,但更圆融与素朴。通过奈保尔之眼,读Miguel Street 上的人们的生活,总有点“眷恋凄怆”的意思。
评分No idea why this book is highly rated in Douban, but I can't have sympathy with any of the character in the book.
评分Trinidad-Port of Spain-The Miguel Street-V.S.Naipaul.
评分也太好看了!
