Julian Patrick Barnes is a contemporary English writer of postmodernism in literature. He has been shortlisted three times for the Man Booker Prize--- Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005), and won the prize for The Sense of an Ending (2011). He has written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh.
Following an education at the City of London School and Merton College, Oxford, he worked as a lexicographer for the Oxford English Dictionary. Subsequently, he worked as a literary editor and film critic. He now writes full-time. His brother, Jonathan Barnes, is a philosopher specialized in Ancient Philosophy.
He lived in London with his wife, the literary agent Pat Kavanagh, until her death on 20 October 2008.
Which of two stuffed parrots was the inspiration for one of Flaubert's greatest stories? Why did the master keep changing the colour of Emma Bovary's eyes? And why should it matter so much to Geoffrey Braithwaite, a retired doctor haunted by a private secret? In "Flaubert's Parrot", Julian Barnes spins out a multiple mystery of obsession and betrayal (both scholarly and romantic) and creates an exuberant enquiry into the ways in which art mirrors life and then turns around to shape it.
后现代小说的典范,互文、杂糅、戏仿。 从小说的题目而言,再到其具体内容来看,从叙述的节奏推进而言,福楼拜的鹦鹉被悬置了,在开头提到没有多久后,鹦鹉就消失了,直到最后一章再出现了。 故事本身已经不重要了,重要的是形式本身?真实与虚构的界限已经被混杂了。 打破了原...
評分我翻阅了一下此书的第一页,立刻就感觉翻译得味同嚼蜡,磕磕绊绊,毫无语感,把一部重要的文学作品翻译成这样是很不负责任的表现。建议出版社找人重新翻译此书。 在网上发现了一篇专门罗列这本书翻译错误的文章,转帖如下: —————————————转 帖———————...
評分用在这本书上的时间并不算多,但感受始终在变化。起初我大概跟所有随意地想去评论什么的人一样想用“有趣”来概括自己的一切观感,但是嘲讽的情绪埋伏在草率的心情之下,而这也恰恰是作者在写作这本书时所采取的基本态度,建立于个人智力愉悦感之上的揶揄,因为你不能期待这样...
Fifty versions/parrots of life, just like biographies. choose to imitate or to elaborate. Or simply to live a life out of not-life. Authenticity mixed with absurdity. 有些納博科夫的意圖
评分喜歡看似散亂隨意卻密密交織的文字。(熬過最初十幾頁,竟發現後麵的文字如此有趣)
评分太有意思瞭,對福樓拜生平故事進行挖掘,但錶麵之下隱藏著敘事者自己的傾訴欲望和衝動,隱藏著自己的視角和訴求
评分很機智
