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.
Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of four previous novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
Ishiguro's ambitious attempt at an epic often fails to convince, but his forte lies in capturing the unspeakable. In resolving a mystery, in negotiating through traumatic memories, Ishiguro lays bare the abysmal gap between reality and imagination in individuals whose lives have been torn to pieces in a clash of empires.

評分白開水小說…… " It's obvious to the reader that Christopher deludes himself about many things, such as his conviction that when he "roots out evil," he is "cleansing the world of wickedness." This inclination toward grandiosity is a direct result of Christopher's sense of powerlessness as an orphan. "
評分跟上海不期而遇瞭。
1、石黑一雄擅长运用零星的回忆编织故事,他认为通过这样一个过滤器,我们可以审视自己的生活。在《上海孤儿》中你大概就可以领略到他这一“娴熟的技巧”。但我有时担心的是,频繁使用这样的技巧会不会助长作家在叙述上的惰性。对于场景、事件地转换、过渡对很多作家来说有时要...

評分《我辈孤雏》是我看的第四本石黑一雄小说。看到80%,我已经抑制不住吐槽的冲动了,等看完连吐槽的兴趣都没有了。 故事如下:一个英国小孩生活在上海租界,与邻居日本小孩是朋友。一天,他爸跟情妇跑了,但他认为他爸是为了反抗帝国主义霸权被绑架了。又过了一阵,他妈妈被一个...
