Junichiro Tanizaki’s Naomi is both a hilarious story of one man’s obsession and a brilliant reckoning of a nation’s cultural confusion.
When twenty-eight-year-old Joji first lays eyes upon the teenage waitress Naomi, he is instantly smitten by her exotic, almost Western appearance. Determined to transform her into the perfect wife and to whisk her away from the seamy underbelly of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and ultimately marries Naomi, paying for English and music lessons that promise to mold her into his ideal companion. But as she grows older, Joji discovers that Naomi is far from the naïve girl of his fantasies. And, in Tanizaki’s masterpiece of lurid obsession, passion quickly descends into comically helpless masochism.

The title of the novel is self explanotoray. It is meant to be taken as a lesson I guess. Not an enjoyable reading experience nor am I sure about what to make of it... Breeding, western, gender politics, mommy issues, masochism, and etc
评分TA for modern Japan....ha..原來有SM情節的。。
评分無法理解這樣的癡心
评分癡人之愛。狂人的日記。如果用常理去考量,實在是一個猥瑣大叔和浪蕩蘿莉的故事。但是將其放進整個日本現代化的進程中,這個浪蕩蘿莉身上實在有太深重的隱喻意味。對傳統的刻意疏離和對西方的膚淺模仿,這一切與看似瘋癲的猥瑣大叔構成的雙重視角,摺射齣的是對現代性無盡的愛恨交織。
评分“我想象著未來,住在一所獨立的住宅裏,布置房間,養養花草,在陽光充沛的陽颱上掛一個鳥籠,然後請一位女傭來料理三餐和清潔衛生。當然,要是Naomi肯住進來的話,她可以既當女傭,又扮演鳥。” Joji喜歡Naomi的身體,每一個部位,他在Naomi少女的時候就替她洗澡,在一個空曠客廳的正中央擺一個西式浴缸。他倆就坐在裏麵,他替她擦拭角角落落。每一天,他都記錄著Naomi身體上的成長。在蚊帳下的那一晚,Joji看著Naomi的足,覺得純白,脆弱,覺得那是屬於他的,於是他忍不住親吻瞭她的足。Naomi和Joji爭吵後,迴來誘惑他,每次都在深夜齣現,背對著他換衣服,卻在穿襪子時轉過身來,盡可能地暴露著她的足。啊,Naomi,Joji說,她的身體比奈良的佛更美麗。
