When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is swept into a passionate love affair. But his girl-friend's return to Paris destroys everything. Unable to admit to the truth, David pretends the liaison never happened--while Giovanni's life descends into tragedy.
简直不能太棒!从题材上来说,这本小说在书写同性感情经历上绝对是先驱;从技法上看,文笔细腻又不过分煽情,章节之间的切换极其自然,人物的回忆和现在融合得恰到好处,尤其是最后David想像Gio临死前可能的经历与他自己并置起来,暗含了David自己生命的“死亡”。Gio和David的那间房一直在小说的中心徘徊,成为整本书的灵魂所在。这间房曾经是两人不为世俗所容的爱情庇护所,后来在David眼中却成为他无法逃脱的“罪恶”。David显然是个为internalized homophobia所困扰的弱者,或者更严厉一点的话,就是个渣男;相反,Giovanni看得比他透,并不看重别人的非议,心甘情愿为爱献身。所以我或许可以理解David那种对自己性向的焦虑和惶恐,却不能原谅他对G的残忍,对自我的逃避。
评分最有名的一本Baldwin,但相比较其他 觉得格局有些小。在巴黎休假的两天里读完,觉得美国人还是写美国 更流畅一些。
评分在一篇AJ文里看到这本书,读的时候脑补出一部完整的电影,如何表现Giovanni的美,巴黎清晨的阳光是怎样,David离去的身影,被诸多美丽又悲伤的细节填满了脑子。对三个主角的刻画几乎完美地击中了我,他们每个人身上都有一部分trigger了我心里的一些什么。有思想有胆识的Hella却说出甘愿扔掉所有书籍乖乖相夫教子,因为她害怕如果不能依靠一个男人,自己就不知道如何做女人。Giovanni和David,一个爱得太用力一个根本不会爱,如故事里说的,世界上一半是只会记得的疯子,一半是只会忘却的疯子。我很难过。
评分People who believe that they are strong-willed and the inasters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception. In Paris you feel all the time gone by ,in New York all the time to come. 有些地方写得挺有意思的,特别是涉及到些许文化差异时的对白。
评分在htgawm s03e01里出现的书。
david的回忆充斥着对这段感情的避之不谈。他没有深入任何亲密的举动,没有描绘更多露骨的画面,甚至没有怎么正视giovanni的正面形象。他不仅是因为自己对gio的残酷而愧疚,更是因为自己对男人的欲望而愧疚,也是因为自己软弱无能的时代羁绊而愧疚。 我觉得主题就是逃避——直到...

评分 评分文中的Giovanni’s room其实代表着David的深柜属性(identity),他因对自身性向的不确定而对深柜(乔的房间)感到肮脏、恶心,进而从心理上产生排斥、厌恶,但感官体验又让其沉溺其中无法自拔。一如小说末尾的隐喻,although David tries to walk away from his sexual past by jo...
