In 1936, Shostakovitch, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovitch reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music.
Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovitch's career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.
Julian Patrick Barnes is a contemporary English writer of postmodernism in literature. He has been shortlisted three times for the Man Booker Prize--- Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005), and won the prize for The Sense of an Ending (2011). He has written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh.
Following an education at the City of London School and Merton College, Oxford, he worked as a lexicographer for the Oxford English Dictionary. Subsequently, he worked as a literary editor and film critic. He now writes full-time. His brother, Jonathan Barnes, is a philosopher specialized in Ancient Philosophy.
He lived in London with his wife, the literary agent Pat Kavanagh, until her death on 20 October 2008.
9.11-9.12 拾起读完。情感充沛然而压抑。One to hear,One to remember,And one to drink. 数月前因为肖斯塔科维奇而买的这本The Noise of Time,这两天才翻出来读完,也是我第一次读Julian Barnes。肖斯塔科维奇的经历让人发凉,我想也许小说是另一种阐述,但它确确实实就是那种让人喉咙发紧的书。我们读1984读到老大哥时,有时候都会发笑,但这本书就是不能笑。 封面是肖斯塔科维奇提着箱子的等待。那个年代许多艺术家莫名其妙地消失,他不想被家人看到自己被逮捕的场面,所以每天自己提着装了行李的箱子在电梯口等着。做懦夫比做勇士难,勇士身后是更多人的牺牲,懦夫忍受的则是双倍的拷问。所以反反复复出现的诘问:生比死更容易吗?

评分用三个超级长镜头,通过肖斯塔科维奇在一生中最关键的节点上(被党报批判,代表苏联在美国巡演,老年入党)清点自己的生活来讲他的一生,讲在集权下苟活的艺术和艺术家。结构新颖,文字也好,但如纽约时报所说,写肖斯塔科维奇思考人生,但写得更像是小说家思考肖斯塔科维奇思考人生。而且个人认为这种向内层层折叠的叙事结构只适合写短篇,不然读者老是憋着一口气等待叙事浮回现实的时间点,憋得好累。

谈到英国小说家朱利安·巴恩斯,普通读者和尖刻的评论家首先会想到的一个词是:聪明。这不仅仅指巴恩斯总能带给人新鲜的感觉(特别是在小说内容趋向同质化的今天),而且还在于巴恩斯似乎总能找到最贴切的叙述方式,更不用提语言的精炼和美感,以及层出不穷的金句。从《福楼拜...

评分一本幽深地阐释了权力与艺术的关系的书。主人公兼具强大与懦弱。作者试图揭示权力之下一种更真实更日常的状态,那就是当懦夫,通过与权力当局的部分妥协,换取生活的进行、家人朋友的安全。这个过程并不比当英雄容易,因为自我被一块块分裂,内心反复被自己质问。 试图将英雄与...
评分这本书的叙事方式,对我而言是比较陌生的。我记得大概在GXJ的一些片断里有过这样的感觉,一种游离在事件之外冷眼旁观,以一种思想演进的方式来推进情节。 反而前苏联的历史背景显得模糊了。 肖斯塔科维奇这样一个人物,和我想象的处在那样政治高压的情况下的人的表现不太一样。...
