圖書描述

Book Description

David Kepesh is white-haired and over sixty, an eminent TV culture critic and star lecturer at a New York College, when he meets Consuela Castillo, a decorous, well-mannered student of twentyfour, the daughter of wealthy Cuban exiles, who promptly puts his life into erotic disorder and haunts him for the next eight years. Since the sexual revolution of the 1960s freed him from his wife and child, Kepesh has experimented with living what he calls an 'emancipated manhood' beyond the reach of family or a mate. Over the years, he has refined that exuberant decade of protest and licence into an orderly way of life in which he is both unimpeded in the world of Eros and studiously devoted to his aesthetic pursuits. But the youth and beauty of this 'newly-hatched' woman - 'a masterpiece,' as Kepesh describes Consuela, 'of volupte' - undo him completely. His worldliness, his confidence, his reason desert him, and on the brink of old age, a maddening sexual possessiveness transports him to the depths of deforming jealousy. The light-hearted erotic tale with which he began evolves into a poignant, tragic story of love and loss. The Dying Animal is vintage Roth fiction, a masterpiece of passionate immediacy. It is intellectually bold, forcefully candid, wholly of our time, and utterly without precedent - a story of sexual discovery told about himself by a man of seventy.

The Dying Animal is the latest addition to Philip Roth's already considerable and highly celebrated oeuvre. The protagonist is David Kepesh, a recurring protagonist in Roth's work, having been introduced first in the Kafkaesque 1972 novella, The Breast, and again in The Professor of Desire (1979). Kepesh, now a 70-year-old arts critic and lecturer in critical theory, is a sexual adventurer, who feels himself liberated from marriage, children and old school sexual mores by the 1960s sexual revolution, and uses his celebrity and intellectual reputation to seduce the young women that he tutors. Written in the form of a conversational confession, Roth has Kepesh introduce the method of his sexual conquests and then the foil to his method, the beautiful, mannered and busty Consuela Castillo. So begins a description of a descent into the madness of love; "crazy distortions of longing, doting, possessiveness ... this need, this derangement. Will it ever stop?"

. What begins as a chronology of sexual conquest becomes an exquisite meditation on the destructive and addictive nature of love and lust. Notions of social freedom, and sexual emancipation are explored as Kepesh, who for so long has considered himself a free animal, finds himself caged in by his obsession. His journey of sexual discovery becomes one of self-discovery, and as his life journey nears its close he also begins to realise in himself and those around him, "the dying animal" (from Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium"),a different beast to the sexual animal yet still entwined with it through shared flesh.

This is a sexually candid novel, a brave and daring one, a novel that does not blink in the admission that so many of our actions are motivated by the sexual. In this it is reminiscent of the writings of Henry Miller, which are mentioned among the many literary references that populate this book. Every line of Roth's prose brings a desire to read the next; it is brilliantly written, and like the Yeats poem from which it draws inspiration, it is open to much interpretation.

這本書應該集中瞭他飽受詬病的各種觀點和態度吧

the essence of the book is mistaken by many i would said. It is disguised as a book on sex between a young girl and an experienced older Man. It is in fact a book about a hunter who gets hunted himself. A book about love. The love he develops for her.

美國六十年代至今的個人縱欲史。印象深的隻有一個鏡頭,"Yes, that was something, wasn't it?" Kate said. And then with her weary smile she added, "I wonder who it is he thought I was." (另,豆瓣第二條評論是譯文原文。。。

73岁的菲利普·罗斯又出了新书:《普通人》(Everyman)。书的封套上有作家的照片,虽然老,但精神不错。这是好几十年来菲利普·罗斯第一次允许照片随书发行,据说是为了避免自传的误会。《普通人》是关于衰老和死亡的故事,主人公与作家一样都生于1933年,简短的小说开始于他...

从前言开始吧,小时候喜欢小说很多,后来,但凡是有字的东西都非得想法设法去看。别人的读后也罢,前言也好,代序都好,总之,我真是喜欢书的。 如果阅读主要是作为谈资。。。我想,我无法避免这样的莫名骄傲感,总是话唠和爱掉书袋的自己,这是我值得小自傲的极少数时刻。 “...

苏轼《与王庠》写道:“书富如入海,百货皆有之,人之精力,不能兼收尽取,但得其所欲求者。” 读菲利普•罗斯《垂死的肉身》,找到一个很好的比喻:“她就像新孵出的雏鸟,圆圆的前额上还粘着蛋壳碎片也不奇怪。”除了这个比喻之外,值得“一意求之”的是教授大卫•凯...

说实话,中文翻译的不怎么高明... 这本小说其实没有用什么很玄妙的叙事技法,和《低音提琴》相仿,如果和《赫索格》相比那还是单薄了许多。菲利普・罗斯想要表达的东西太多太多,死亡,流放,美国六七十年代青年的反叛,家庭,肉身,恐惧,爱。在这么多东西面前,作者的笔...
