A dazzling cycle of short stories by one of China s most revered contemporary writers and one of the world s leading artist-intellectuals.
An Empty Room is the first book by the celebrated Chinese writer Mu Xin toappear in English. A cycle of thirteen tenderly evocative stories written whileMu Xin was living in exile, this collection is reminiscent of the structural beautyof Hemingway s In Our Time and the imagistic power of Kawabata s palm-of-the-hand stories. From the ordinary (a bus accident) to the unusual (Buddhisthalos) to the wise (Goethe, Lao Zi), Mu Xin s wandering I interweaves plotswith philosophical grace and spiritual profundity. A small blue bowl becomes asymbol of vanishing childhood; a painter in a race against fading memory scribblesnotes in an underground prison during the Cultural Revolution; an abandonedtemple room holds a dark mystery. An Empty Room is a soul-stirringpage turner, a Sebaldian reverie of passing time, loss, and humanity regained.
Mu Xin, born in 1927 in China, is among the last of his generation to receive a classical education. During the Cultural Revolution he was imprisoned for eighteen months and then lived under house arrest for several years. In 1982 he moved to the U.S., where he lived in Queens, New York, and only recently moved back to his hometown in China. He is the author of several collections of stories, poetry, and essays, as well as being a world-renowned painter.
“What interests me is not "things past" but how to achieve simultaneously two 'I''s' through remembrance: One is long dead, the other still living."... "There are two... relevant proverbs: One is: 'Life is found in a desperate condition.' The other is 'Put someone in the place of death so that there can be a rebirth of life.'
評分感覺老頭們的風格都差不多。。

評分看木心先生的照片一直覺得他受過那麼多磨難,卻還是有一張沒受過欺負的臉,讀他的故事集纔明白那些苦難還是留下瞭痕跡的,以他用另一種方式在消化著,紀念著。(在紐約Greenwich village的獨立書店看到這本先生的書買瞭下來,這竟是他在住瞭二十幾年的美國唯一英文齣版的書,想來覺得可惜可嘆。童明的翻譯非常好,有海明威的風格,簡潔準確有力,和豹變的中文原文相比很多地方甚至更甚一籌)
評分童明的英譯,又讓我愛一次木心。
