"In a Free State" deals in displacement. It tells first of an Indian servant in Washington, then of an Asian West Indian in London who is in jail for murder. Then the story moves to Africa, to a fictional country something like Uganda or Rwanda. The two main characters are English. They once found Africa liberating, but now it has gone sour on them. At a time of tribal conflict they have to make the long drive to the safety of their compound. In the background, the threat of violence looms. The voices in this novel are breathtakingly vivid, while the characters are portrayed with an intelligence and sensitivity that is rarely seen in contemporary writing. Dennis Potter described the book as one 'of such lucid complexity and such genuine insight, so deft and deep, that it somehow manages to agitate, charm, amuse and excuse the reader all at the same pitch of experience'. This is one of V.S. Naipaul's greatest novels, hard but full of pity.

先看的《大河湾》,这是我读的奈保尔的第二本书,并不是很理想。 因为《自由国度》是获奖作品,所以理所当然有期待,所以希望落空时很失落就是了。 我比较喜欢第一个篇《合众为一》,将一个印度仆人死缠烂打主人之后跟着去了美国,在哪里开始觉醒,逃离主人开始人生,最后妥协...
评分In A Free State is much better than the other stories in this book. It is modern-style, cool, taut, rthymic and balanced. You'll never be bored by this story if you're reading its original English version. The emotion is controlled; the conversation is prov...
评分《自由国度》解读 《自由国度》是一本短篇小说集,1971 年英国获得了布克奖。书中包含两个日记摘要和三个短篇小说。比较起来,这三篇小说中的主人公们在地理和文化上都经历了移位,他们在异国遇到了文化身份的危机,失去了归属感。 第一个故事:桑托什是一个印度仆人,跟着他...
评分【读品】成刚/文 《自由国度》捧走了1971年的英国布克奖,后惨遭二十家英国出版社不留情面的退稿,固然跟《星期日泰晤士报》在文稿署名处隐去奈保尔的名讳代之以不见经传的假名有关,暴露出当今出版社编辑仰名家鼻息弃小卒不睬的陋习。奈保尔本人对这一尴尬局面的应对很有技巧...
评分南方都市报阅读周刊 很多人的列的出单里,都会包含奈保尔的《米格尔大街》,凡是看过的人,几乎没有不留下美好印象的。就连我这个整天嚷嚷喜欢奈保尔的人,其实说到喜欢也就是指的《米格尔大街》这部短篇小说集。后来他一再出版的小说、游记,没再让人提起兴致,这当然跟奈保...
