J.M. Coetzee's full name is John Michael Coetzee. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1940, Coetzee is a writer and critic who uses the political situation in his homeland as a backdrop for many of his novels. Coetzee published his first work of fiction, Dusklands, in 1974. Another book, Boyhood, loosely chronicles an unhappy time in Coetzee's childhood when his family moved from Cape Town to the more remote and unenlightened city of Worcester. Other Coetzee novels are In the Heart of the Country and Waiting for the Barbarians. Coetzee's critical works include White Writing and Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship. Coetzee is a two-time recipient of the Booker Prize and in 2003, he won the Nobel Literature Award.
A searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam Youthis a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. The narrator ofYouth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, studies mathematics, reads poetry, saves money, trying to ensure that when he escapes to the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity and transform it into art. Arriving in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.
那个冬日的午后,我坐在操场看这本书。阳光柔和,没有力度。我看一会儿就会抬起头来,那些可怜笨拙的念想在心中张望。再低头我就看到了这句话:他的希望是,从他活动于其中的没有特点的人群中会有一个回应他的眼神的女子,一言不发地悄然来到他的身旁。 可她能回应我的眼神吗?...
评分库切是一个南非作家。而南非恰好是我那106天航程中最无法忘怀的一站。开普敦的一切都令我困惑且惊讶。像开普敦这样明目张胆地将愤怒仇恨与繁华欢笑并置在一起的城市,除了里约热内卢之外大概再也数不出几个。是,所有的超级城市都是光与影、爱和恨的综合体,有富翁与优雅妇人...
评分1 读库切作品的时候,我一直在想南非拥有怎样的气候,是否和他的文本一样散发着潮湿和清冷。互联网上查询的结果是南非具有温带草原和地中海两种截然不同的气候,库切生活和描述的地区就是以开普敦为中心的地中海气候,这种气候夏季炎热少雨,冬季寒冷多雨,库切的书,就像当地...
评分 评分《青春》读毕。一直特别关注那些老者或逝者年轻的时候,他们在怎么想,做什么。这是时间紧迫感所致。 《青春》和前阵子的《流动的盛宴》都是讲述年轻的时候。“年轻的时候”,多么好的时候,那时未来还是谜,不管他们痛苦或者欢喜,共通的是雄心。 这两本都喜欢,《青春》更喜...
总算把一位不怎么可爱的文艺男青年波澜起伏的大规模叨逼叨心理戏给看完了……别的槽点太多了,但他看中Monica Vitti和Anna Karina那至少品味还是很好的啊
