具体描述
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.

评分到上海之后开始出现超现实的情节，是作者有意为之，这并不是一部传统意义上的“侦探小说”，而是假借这一范式又将其拆解；背景环境的模糊以及尽量避免区域文化特征则是作者走向世界文学这一场域的一种写作策略。石黑一雄所写并非惊心动魄的故事，更非宏伟的史诗，而是人内心世...
评分童年是什么？有时候是缺失记忆，有时候是重新构建，有时候是堆砌梦境，不论今后的人生会变成怎样，它在心底，一直牢牢盘踞。 “我们一旦长大成人，儿时就变得像另外一个国度”。在这里，懵懂的喜乐，懵懂的悲伤，终究在离开这个国度以后用后面的人生来解释偿还。 故事的背景是1...
评分 评分《我辈孤雏》，一本有着极佳名字的书。但是看完并不会让人心旷神怡，甚至还会有一种挥之不去的忧国忧民的悲伤。 从伦敦到上海，我不知道1937年的上海到底什么样子，所以我不知道石黑一雄是否描述准确。但是读起来，我总觉得有一种魔幻，一种无法置信的抗拒感，或者有好像哪里不...
