A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, 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), Shostakovich 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 Shostakovich’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 BARNES is the author of twenty previous books including, most recently, Keeping an Eye Open: Essays on Art. He has received the Man Booker Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the David Cohen Prize for Literature, and the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; in France, the Prix Médicis and the Prix Femina; in Austria, the State Prize for European Literature. In 2004 he was named Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. His work has been translated into more than forty languages. He lives in London.

Tragedies in hindsight look like farces. Sarcasm was irony which had lost its soul. A soul could be destroyed in one of three ways: by what others did to you; by what others made you do to yourself; and by what you voluntarily chose to do to yourself.
評分本來非常期待硃利安巴恩斯和肖斯塔科維奇的組閤,但這種威權統治下藝術傢的身不由己和掙紮,對於中國人來說實在太見怪不怪瞭,巴金老捨郭沫若都夠寫齣一堆來。這樣的題材適閤更鋒利尖銳的作傢,遺憾巴恩斯並沒有做齣讓人驚艷的發掘和發揮,除瞭重溫一下本已熟悉的傳記材料,並無多少迴味思考餘地。

When someone repeats the old adage that no one ever put up a statue to a critic, you could always try saying: “Well, Stalin ...” Stalin, of course, was known for rather more than his ear for music, but it would have to be one of the more insulting ironies...
評分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...

評分 評分原文是今年一月The Noise of Time出版时,Julian Barnes在卫报发的小文章。昨天看到上海书评那篇巴恩斯的访谈特激动,里面引用了一些这篇短文的词句,就顺手翻了一下。水平不高,看个参考。(底下三个注释是我自己加的,觉得这样可能更好理解一些。) 本文原文链接: https://w...
