Like Michael Cunningham's homage to Virginia Woolf in The Hours and Jean Rhys's to Charlotte Bronte in The Wide Sargasso Sea, Philippe Besson's extravagantly praised first novel pays tribute to Marcel Proust. It also dares to introduce an asthmatic middle-aged Proust into its masterfully manipulated plot and invents a series of deeply felt letters written by him to the novel's young protagonist, Vincent de l'Etoile. In the summer of 1916, the emotionally precocious Vincent, who is the same age as the century, awakens to the possibilities of both erotic and platonic love. In the course of one week-at literary salons, at the Ritz, in cork-lined rooms-Vincent launches an intense friendship with the celebrated Proust, while at his parents' house in Paris he embarks on a sensual journey with Arthur Vales, the soldier son of a family servant, on leave from the front. Unknowingly, Vincent is also beginning a passage into a manhood that will be haunted by the secret he uncovers behind the love he bears for a doomed French infantryman and a famous middle-aged Jewish writer.
Philippe Besson (born January 29, 1967 in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, Charente) is a French writer. In 1999, Besson, a law graduate, was inspired to write his first novel, En l'absence des hommes while reading of accounts of ex-serviceman during the First World War. The novel, with its daring inclusion of Marcel Proust as a central character, won the Emmanuel-Roblès prize. Besson's second novel, Son Frère was shortlisted for the Prix Femina, and adapted for cinema by Patrice Chéreau in 2003. The film was well received and won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
由于最近一直在看很枯燥的书,这本书便成为我换口味的试验品。作家、翻译者甚至是出版社都是第一次听到。既然只是拿来转换口味而已,没有当作很正式的读物去欣赏。也可能正是因为以这个比较低的姿态进入对此书的阅读,让我获得了一种发掘式的畅快。不像有些内容一般,但被编辑...
評分一本卓然出众的小说:光彩夺目、充满创造力和勇气。一场文学的恋爱,盈溢着奇思妙想、深入人心的情节以及慧黠如织锦般的文字。故事背景里史实的暧昧和沉重,与读者阅读时的愉悦巧妙地结合在一起......细致、敏锐而且残酷,极其美妙的书写。 ...
評分这本书可以归为我毕生无法抗拒,往往会在午夜时分像想念亲密友人一样忽然想起、随后在床畔昏黄的灯光映照下静静阅读的书。 一本打开后就忍不住一口气读到底的天才型处女作,语句、意象、叙事手法明显打上杜拉斯、普鲁斯特、伍尔芙等意识流作者的烙印,行文淡定优雅,抹不去的...
評分事实上,我以为这部小说会在讲战争期间生活节奏并未受影响的贵族以及为之和国家牺牲的战士们的差别,但并没有,我想前面那么长时间的铺垫就是为了最后那个震惊脑神经的消息,作者做到了,这也是他的目的,我是这么想的。前后部分两个角度的叙述,给我一个感觉,就是前半...
