In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.
The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-century Sweden, three brief conversations provide the basis for a lifetime of longing. In today’s England, a retired army major heads into the city for his regimental dinner–and his annual appointment with a professional lady named Babs. Somewhere nearby, a devoted wife calms (or perhaps torments) her ailing husband by reading him recipes.
In stories brimming with life and our desire to hang on to it one way or another, Barnes proves himself by turns wise, funny, clever, and profound–a writer of astonishing powers of empathy and invention.
朱利安•巴恩斯(1946— ),英国当代著名作家。父母皆为法语教师,哥哥在牛津大学教授哲学,妻子帕特•凯伐纳是著名的文学经纪人。巴恩斯毕业于牛津大学,曾参与《牛津英语辞典》的编纂工作,做过多年的文学编辑和评论家。
“聪明”是巴恩斯作品的一贯标识。八十年代他以突破性之作《福楼拜的鹦鹉》入围布克奖决选,跻身英国文坛一流作家之列。此后,获各大文学奖项无数,三进布克奖决选,并于2011年凭借《终结的感觉》赢得大奖,同年获大卫•柯恩英国文学终身成就奖。
巴恩斯也深得法国读者的好感,他是唯一一位同时获得法国梅第奇奖和费米娜奖的作家,并先后荣获法国文化部颁发的文学艺术骑士、军官、司令勋章,堪称在法国最受欢迎的英国作家之一。
语言很跳跃,需要耐心,但有回报。
评分Barnes的短篇总有那么几篇让人啃不下去、完全进入不了状态,这应该是我读过最没感觉的一本Barnes。
评分Sentimental Lemon.
评分Great book about aging, death, and retrospect of love and life. 越来越爱Barnes了。渐入佳境、不得不连读了两遍的几篇:The Revival (主角是屠格涅夫...),Bark, Vigilance (很有意思的古典乐爱好者独白),The Silence (写的是西贝柳斯?似乎Barnes也是他的粉丝;Vigilance里也提到了他的violin concerto).
评分难懂TAT 而且发现中文的也看不懂。。
柠檬桌子十一篇小说两天读完。对于我喜欢的小说从来的不忍淬读。但无感的小说总是希望快快读完好进入下一本书。 本书总体评价三星半。 作者并不是我所熟悉的英国当代作家,似乎我对英国当代作家一无所知。毕竟我也不是专业的把读书当成工作的人,也不是一个热爱读书渗透到骨血...
评分本书是布克文学奖获得者朱利安·巴恩斯的短篇集,在诺贝尔文学奖越来越像一个老官僚,专注于搜求不同文化中早已成名的大家,以给他们发出终身成就奖时,布克文学奖似乎更像是当代小说的风向标。两点让它特别有趣,首先,它包容了更多的文体试验,其次,它将类型小说与严肃文学...
