A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of very contemporary skulduggery and skull-diggery - Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture, and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.
Autumn is the first installment in Ali Smith's novel quartet Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical (as the seasons are), exploring what time is, how we experience it, and the recurring markers in the shapes our lives take and in our ways with narrative.
From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves.
Ali Smith is a writer, born in 1962 in Inverness, Scotland, to working-class parents. She was raised in a council house in Inverness and now lives in Cambridge. She studied at Aberdeen, and then at Cambridge, for a Ph.D. that was never finished. In a 2004 interview with writing magazine Mslexia, she talked briefly about the difficulty of becoming ill with chronic fatigue syndrome for a year and how it forced her to give up her job as a lecturer at University of Strathclyde to focus on what she really wanted to do: writing. Openly gay, she has been with her partner Sarah Wood for 17 years and dedicates all her books to her.
Smith is definitely an author to look out for. Her writing is so unique, observant and creative. I was in treat with playful language.
评分又刷了一遍,还是喜欢。老人与女孩的情缘,让人想起"盲龟浮木"的典故,隔着将近七十年的光阴,她爱上了他,一直爱着他,而他在死亡与记忆与梦的边缘逡巡徘徊,终于逆流回返,回向生命,回向她。每个章节的第一句(或半句)都用黑字加粗,一开始还以为连在一起会是诗或歌词,不过大多是提示时间节点,我以为结构上头是collage(拼贴画)的模式,时间碎片打乱重组。不过ali smith自己倒像是给出来了这部作品结构构思的官方答案: p175 Time travel is real, we do it all the time. Moment to moment, minute to minute. 毫无疑问,这本书的构架编排是time -travel,其实开头说的"盲龟浮木"不也是一种time-travel?
评分是一本要很仔细analyze才能感到趣味的书,jen campbell的分析就讲得很好。非常plotless并政治性,比起阅读的快感,还是分析的快感比较多

评分We are all time containers, the world is and will always be. We are at the present but the past, the future, the imagined are no alien to us, its an old story so new. 作者解构时间和小说的方式非常有趣,pun玩到飞起 non native speaker还是需要好的翻译帮忙。

评分 评分我像一个固执等待戈多的人 等他到来 他在哪里? 我一直在寻找 一生的朋友有时候要等上一辈子才能遇到。 于是我想我需要耐心等待,或者继续寻找。也许会遇到,也许找不到。从童年时期,就总是一个人待着,喜欢看各种小说,可没有钱买书。喜欢透过窗口看树影斑驳;也希望自己灵魂...
评分最近计划刷掉17年的Man Booker Prize shortlist,这是读的第一本,是一本很……神奇的小说,我必须得承认没全看懂……但还是断断续续花了一个星期看完了。 小说的主线——if there was any——并不复杂,讲述的是一对相差七十岁的忘年交的故事,按作者的说法这是英国脱欧之后她...
