David Lodge(1935– ), English novelist and critic, b. London, grad. University College, London (B.A., M.A.) and the Univ. of Birmingham (Ph.D.). Lodge taught at the Univ. of Birmingham (1960–87), during which time he wrote studies of Graham Greene (1966) and Evelyn Waugh (1971). His works of criticism, which deal mainly with modern literary theory, include The Language of Fiction (1966), The Modes of Modern Writing (1977), Working with Structuralism (1981), The Art of Fiction (1992), and Consciousness and the Novel (2002). Since 1987 he has been a full-time writer. Lodge has used his deep intimacy with the academic world in many of his novels, which reveal a talent for deft characterization, wry humor, and incisive commentary. At its best, Lodge's fiction combines satire with humane sympathy for his characters. His novels include The Picturegoers (1960), Changing Places (1979), Small World (1985), Nice Work (1988), Paradise News (1991), Therapy (1995), and Thinks... (2001).

Funny and moving by turns, Deaf Sentence is a witty, original and absorbing account of one man’s effort to come to terms with deafness, ageing and mortality, and the comedy and tragedy of human lives.
When the university merged his Department of English with Linguistics, Professor Desmond Bates took early retirement, but he is not enjoying it. He misses the routine of the academic year and has lost his appetite for research. His wife Winifred’s late-flowering career goes from strength to strength, reducing his role to that of escort, while the rejuvenation of her appearance makes him uneasily conscious of the age gap between them. The monotony of his days is relieved only by wearisome journeys to London to check on his aged father who stubbornly refuses to leave the house he is patently unable to live in with safety.
But these discontents are nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss — a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment, leading Desmond into mistakes, misunderstandings and follies. It might be comic for others, but for the deaf person himself, it is no joke. It is his deafness which inadvertently involves Desmond with a young woman whose wayward behaviour threatens to destabilize his life completely.

讀後感
这是我给戴维·洛奇（David Lodge） 2008年的小说Deaf Sentence 提议的书名翻译。本来两个英文词够简单的，可是“sentence”是个可数名词，既不在前面加个“a”，又不是复数形式，弄啥玄虚啊？是要读者联想到“death sentence”？此公喜欢玩文字游戏，像现实生活中的出版社Mi...
評分戴维•洛奇是一位不走寻常路的作家，即使在这部小说开篇之前的献词中，他也背离常规，心思细密、情真意切地将此书献给那些多年来一直孜孜不倦地将他的作品翻译成各种语言的译者，而对早已习惯为人作嫁、苦乐自知的译者而言，这无疑是一种少有的荣幸。 戴维•洛奇出生于193...
評分大卫•洛奇正在一天天的老去，而他最近一部作品中的主人公也不例外。 在洛奇的第十四本小说中，戴斯蒙德•贝茨教授成为他思考语言学、文学、家庭——以及生命和死亡的载体。而具有讽刺意味的是，现实生活中阻碍其交流的耳聋却成为了洛奇传达他这些信息的媒介。 Deaf Sent...

评分4.5分。很快讀完瞭。文彩飛揚。很多話題，失聰、退休、年老、新人物、新性格，沒有想像中的那麼值得期待，也沒有一以貫之得難以接受。有時候是會覺得，人生確實值得嘲笑一番，再失去一些興趣的。
