At a cafe table in Lahore, a Pakistani man converses with a stranger. As dusk deepens to dark, he begins the tale that has brought him to this fateful meeting...Among the brightest and best of his graduating class at Princeton, Changez is snapped up by an elite firm and thrives on New York and the intensity of his work. And his infatuation with fragile Erica promises entree into Manhattan society on the exalted footing his own family once held back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez's meteoric rise to personal and professional success: the fulfillment of the immigrant's dream. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in the city he loves suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez's own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and perhaps even love.

评分有谁在地铁站受过安检,请说; 有谁没有烦过,请说。 明天早起,又要赶地铁,接受日渐习以为常的例行安检。在感恩增加工作机会之余,我想不起来,第一次在地铁站要安检是什么时候。在上海,似乎是2010年世博会之后就沿用至今;在北京,似乎是2008年奥运会之后就沿用至今。再往...
评分“对不起,先生,能帮你什么忙吗?啊,我看出来了,我让您受惊了。不用为我的大胡子而感到害怕,我是一个热爱美国的人。”入围2007年布克奖短名单的小说《拉合尔茶馆的陌生人》这样开头。这本仅有178页的小说是一篇独白,或者说对话——但作为听众的美国人的声音被隐去,小说唯...
评分罗豫/文 尽管历史上从来不乏怀有大同理想的人,但“他者”,甚或是“敌人”,常常却是界定“自我”所必需。在二十一世纪头几年中,对于标榜自由、平等、多元化,且素有“熔炉”(Melting Pot)之誉的美国社会,“他者”是个绕不过的话题。《拉合尔茶馆的陌生人》的主人公——...
