菲利普・罗斯(Philip Roth),1933年出生在美国新泽西州的纽瓦克市,被认为是当代最杰出的美国犹太裔作家之一。罗斯以短篇小说《再见,哥伦布》崛起,在过去的十年间,他已赢得美国多个主要文学奖项,1998年更是凭借《美国田园诗》一举获得美国普利策文学奖,电影《人性污点》即由他2000年出版的同名畅销小说改编,他也是近年来获诺贝尔文学奖呼声颇高的作家之一。
No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you’re not superior to sex. With these words our most unflaggingly energetic and morally serious novelist launches perhaps his fiercest book. The speaker is David Kepesh, white-haired and over sixty, an eminent cultural critic and star lecturer at a New York college–as well as an articulate propagandist of the sexual revolution. For years he has made a practice of sleeping with adventurous female students while maintaining an aesthete’s critical distance. But now that distance has been annihilated.

When he becomes involved with her, Kepesh finds himself dragged–helplessly, bitterly, furiously–into the quagmire of sexual jealousy and loss. In chronicling this descent, Philip Roth performs a breathtaking set of variations on the themes of eros and mortality, license and repression, selfishness and sacrifice. The Dying Animal is a burning coal of a book, filled with intellectual heat and not a little danger.
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...
评分 评分忘记什么时候保存这个书单的 但elegy绝对是我最爱的电影之一 看前面几页的时候就开始与电影elegy对比 之后看到30多页才想到上google搜索一下2者关系 因为简直如出一辙 之后果真是根据此书改编而拍的。。看来我对老男人的印象从很早就注定了 不是太了解作者背景 但推荐此书 ...
评分 评分潦草的看了一遍,本来为了写书评不至于东一句西一句该再看一遍,可实在没有耐心了。 首先让我想起现实生活中那些迂腐和猥琐的老知识分子,教授的身份丝毫不能减轻心态的肮脏。如果一个老的心理学教授爱上了年轻的女学生、他的一个患者,并且发展了这种关系,这美妙...
