From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena—dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents.
不知道该怎样去描述这个跨越了几代人的故事,就好像被拼凑起来的那一幅油画,关于一个处在白茫茫的北极圈内的城市和他的历史,他的人民。在地图上搜索了好久,基洛夫格勒好像一个躲猫猫的孩子,藏在俄罗斯最北端的地平线里,没有踪影。就像我们无法仅仅靠着语言就能够证明的曾...
评分奇异的故事穿插线,复杂略显混乱的人物关系,甚至让人看了觉得无章无趣的故事叙述,三代人的故事,百年的传承,以及在外太空落下的帷幕。 刚开始读这本书,觉得很枯涩,抓不住故事的关键点,尤其是罗曼被捕入狱,他隔壁似有似无的神学院学生着实令我费解,作者想借此表达什么?...
评分 评分 评分《我们一无所有》通篇描述了四代人的人生经历,从斯大林时期到普京时期的车臣战争。各类故事在描述这四代人的不幸与孤独,这是一个时代的通病,那几代人只不过是时代的牺牲品罢了。斯大林时期的绝对强权与控制,普京车臣战争时期的动乱与残酷,人反而却像个被时代裹挟的婴儿,...
相当棒啊,写作手法很新颖,把音乐的思路借鉴到了写作上来。 然后作者对世界认识很深啊
评分一个时代的冷酷、荒谬与伤痛,几代人的生死、爱恨与记忆。巧妙编织的命运,疯狂压抑的人性。亲历者不忍回想,旁观者唯有唏嘘。最后一章浪漫得过分了。
评分又是这种写法,开头埋下的censor插入每一幅照片画作的人像这个伏笔终于在多个穿插之后被再次揭开。只是当时在隔壁回答电码的悬念始终没再提及
