A new work of fiction by the Nobel Prizewinning author of Disgrace
In this brilliant new work of fiction, J. M. Coetzee once again breaks new literary ground with a book that is, in the words of its main character, a response to the present in which I find myself. Diary of a Bad Year takes on the world of politicsa new topic for Coetzeeand explores the role of the writer in our times with an extraordinary moral compass.
At the center of the book is Señor C, an aging author who has been asked to write his thoughts on the state of the world by his German publisher. These thoughts, called Strong Opinions, address a wide range of subjects and include a scathing indictment of Bush, Cheney, and Blair, as well as a witheringly honest examination of everything from Machiavelli and the current state of the university to music, literature, and intelligent design, offering unexpected perceptions and insightful arguments along the way. Meanwhile, someone new enters the writers life: Anya, the beautiful young woman whom he hires to type his manuscript. The relationship that develops between Señor C and Anya has a profound effect on both of them. It also changes the course of Anyas relationship with Alan, the successful, swaggering man whom she lives withand who has designs on Señor Cs bank account. Through these characters, Coetzee creates an ingenious literary game that will enthrall readers and surprise them with its emotional power. Bold, funny, and sad, as well as intellectually clever and satisfying, Diary of a Bad Year is a journey into the mind and heart of one of the worlds most acclaimed and accomplished writers.

Brilliant. 题外话,这可能是一本出不了电子版的书
评分觉得库切小说里的narrative很像是书中的角色在反过来书写其作者 这种意味在这一本里是直截了当的 人物已经是在慢人和夏日里熟悉了的那些人了 但个别的句子里还是会碰到之前作品里从来没有出现过的新意 一种在思想堆砌中无意出现的新的小叠层 天赋(或者技巧,已经分不清了)几乎浑然天成 还有一贯的清晰感和递归感,像对语言,主题的解方程式的化简 以及在人物思想上维持着对复杂性的注重 但politics的部分实在太疏离于人类了 几乎可以怀疑是在刻意讽刺后殖民主义文学在politics面前的赢弱了 最后,希望库切长命百岁………
评分Maybe I am not patient enough
评分現在再看十年前的政治和新聞,覺得過了一個世紀。自然C老頭的溫和不作為無政府主義會繼續他的冷眼,而世界則一天天變得遠離他的理想國而成為阿蘭的地盤。從伊麗莎白就開始了對死的準備,偶爾又冒出對動物的執著,但終於湮沒於對世界腐壞,肉身殘敗的羞恥之中。
评分诺奖作家。深深被这本书的叙述方式吸引。每页分成上中下三栏,平行的三条线叙事。上栏是男主人公正在写作的新书,内容涉及民主,关塔那摩,动物和音乐;中栏是故事主线,讲述男女主人公;下栏从女主人公视角出发,讲述她对上中两栏的心理活动。力荐。
