图书描述

In a New York City made phantasmagorical by the events of 9/11, Hans--a banker originally from the Netherlands--finds himself marooned among the strange occupants of the Chelsea Hotel after his English wife and son return to London. Alone and untethered, feeling lost in the country he had come to regard as home, Hans stumbles upon the vibrant New York subculture of cricket, where he revisits his lost childhood and, thanks to a friendship with a charismatic and charming Trinidadian named Chuck Ramkissoon, begins to reconnect with his life and his adopted country. Ramkissoon, a Gatsby-like figure who is part idealist and part operator, introduces Hans to an “other” New York populated by immigrants and strivers of every race and nationality. Hans is alternately seduced and instructed by Chuck’s particular brand of naivete and chutzpah--by his ability to a hold fast to a sense of American and human possibility in which Hans has come to lose faith.

Netherland gives us both a flawlessly drawn picture of a little-known New York and a story of much larger, and brilliantly achieved ambition: the grand strangeness and fading promise of 21st century America from an outsider’s vantage point, and the complicated relationship between the American dream and the particular dreamers. Most immediately, though, it is the story of one man--of a marriage foundering and recuperating in its mystery and ordinariness, of the shallows and depths of male friendship, of mourning and memory. Joseph O’Neill’s prose, in its conscientiousness and beauty, involves us utterly in the struggle for meaning that governs any single life.

著者简介

Joseph O'Neill is an Irish novelist and non-fiction writer.

O'Neill was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1964, and grew up in The Netherlands. He is a graduate of Girton College, Cambridge, and a barrister at the English Bar, where he practised for ten years, principally in the field of business law. He now lives in New York with his wife, Vogue editor Sally Singer, and their three sons.

O'Neill is the author of three novels, the most recent of which, Netherland, was published in May 2008 and was featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review where it was called, "the wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we’ve yet had about life in New York and London after the World Trade Center fell". He is also the author of a non-fiction book, Blood-Dark Track: A Family History, which was a New York Times Notable Book for 2002 and a book of the year for the Economist and the Irish Times.

O'Neill writes literary and cultural criticism, most regularly for the Atlantic Monthly.

书名怎么叫netherlands了呢

评分

一个荷兰人在纽约的中产故事,尽是荒唐无奈,荒唐的婚姻关系,荒唐的纽约地景,荒唐的跨国身份,荒唐的板球,最终也还是中产式的妥协。尽管板球成为连接“地上世界”和“地下世界”这对隐喻的连结点,但是它自身太弱了,远构不成现实主义的神话,还不如说是中产的自嘲,看不出其中有什么积极意义上的后9·11的“回归”。

“绿光”二字不是平白说的,典出菲茨杰拉德《了不起的盖茨比》:挥金如土的盖茨比平日欢歌纵饮,但内心真正的牵绊却是河对岸一盏小小的绿灯发出的幽光——那里有他梦想的化身。爱尔兰作家约瑟夫•奥尼尔写了一部关于美国纽约的小说《地之国》,有论者誉之为后殖民版的《了...

第一眼是被这本书的封面吸引,我尤其喜欢湖面上的光,让整个画面有一种立体而生动的感觉。一直看到故事快结尾的时候,才明白了封面上这一幕的意义,那是主角汉斯陪着母亲在纽约游玩的一幕,这一对母子之间是一种并不太亲密却又无法割舍的感情。直到母亲永远的离开了后,汉斯才...
