Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
A wildly original novel of erotic fulfillment and spiritual yearning. Every two years the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman-a jaded and dissolute journalist-whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Among their number is a narrator who may or may not be the Atman previously seen in Venice. Intending to visit only for a few days he ends up staying for months, and suddenly finds-or should that be loses?-a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, "the "self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that, willingly or not, he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other. Could two stories, in two different cities, actually be one and the same story? Nothing Geoff Dyer has written before is as wonderfully unbridled, as dead-on in evocation of place, longing and the possibility of neurotic enlightenment, and as irrepressibly entertaining as "Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi."""
Geoff Dyer is the author of Ways of Telling, critical study of John Berger; The Missing of the Somme, about World War I; and the novels Paris Trance, Out of Sheer Rage, The Color of Memory and The Search.
还是更喜欢前半部分发生在威尼斯的那个故事。调情的段落写的尤其精彩啊
评分邂逅:2013.6.18. SDA Spell and Bound书店; 旅程:2013.6.20.-2013.6.30.; 地点:德里各处; Don't like the way it ends and felt it kinda overrated. The capture of prevalent features of Venice and Varanasi is acrimoniously accurate, though.
评分Venice部分是一切都在上升、蒸腾,最后消失在水汽中;Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸没,最后消融在恒河中。两部分都特别喜欢,看完心情复杂但又在某种程度上是纯粹的觉悟。
评分Part of life is going home, the other part trying to never go home

《杰夫在威尼斯,死亡在瓦拉纳西》是一本典型的知识分子气质小说。杰夫来到威尼斯随身带着一本玛丽·麦卡锡的《被凝视的威尼斯》。我们几乎都有这样的习惯,去一个陌生的城市就会带上与这座城有关的一本书,仿佛我们参观的不是这座城,而是为了印证这座城与书中的城是否能合而...
评分乔纳森 发表于《东方早报》2009年8月2日 英国文学里没有“私小说”这样的批评术语,并不等于说没有类似的文艺作品。克里斯托弗·衣舍伍德、金斯利·艾米斯等现代小说家,都写过广义上的“私小说”,甚至可以这样说,要从气质上分类,他们是天生的“私小说”作家,全部虚构...
评分小说名以逗号分隔,标明由一分为二的两个故事组成,两者在人物,地点和事件上并无交集,相似处仅在皆为滨水的古城。第一个故事讲述伦敦自由撰稿人杰夫按照约稿前往威尼斯参加双年展,并撰写相关报道,期间发生一段艳遇又转瞬即逝。作者在情节建构上充分发挥互文性,其诸多...
