In 1950, after winning a scholarship from the government of Trinidad, V. S. Naipaul, aged seventeen, left home for the first time. Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This extraordinary collection of letters gives us, as nothing published previously has, an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years.
It is a story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: The young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer and make his way in the world. His beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India. And his melancholy but loving father, whose own broken dream of succeeding as a writer would be realized in the singular achievement of his son.
With the satisfactions of a novel, Between Father and Son portrays a deeply affecting family drama, even as it bears witness to the flowering of one of the great literary geniuses of the century.

这本书是家书类书籍中不太寻常的一类,我也是从不同的角度来阅读这部家书。对比《傅雷家书》,《梁启超家书》(我仅读过的两本)来看,也许这就是不同文化的差异。傅雷和梁启超两位大家都是从家长的角度,以一个“经验丰富”的长辈的口气,或严肃或和蔼,来把自己希望的情感和...
評分说实在的,这本家书集的看点并不多,从头至尾翻翻也是琐记居多。不过有时候努力寻找会有些回报的。老奈保尔的死让人一下子感受到了他的好:没有傅雷家书那种极端强烈的教育姿态,倒是关怀和交流居多。这是一种平视的角度,是一种我们需要的家书的气氛。 另外奈保尔在异乡的心路...

評分书信体文学之所以重要,是因为它刻录了最真实的个人历史。已被遗忘、历经时光洗练的思绪或感情像石头似的再次被抛入记忆长河里,我们则得以在川上望见激起的涟漪。 最出人意料的书信集?V.S.奈保尔难得一见的感性时刻 我们所知的维迪亚达尔•苏雷吉普拉萨德•奈保尔爵士,...
