具体描述
An utterly contemporary and deeply thought-provoking novel which addresses the profound unease of countless people in modern democracies around the world.
An eminent, seventy-two-year-old Australian writer is invited to contribute to a book entitled Strong Opinions. It is a chance to air some urgent concerns. He writes short essays on the origins of the state, on Machiavelli, on anarchism, on Al-Qaida, on intelligent design, on music. What, he asks, is the origin of the state and the nature of the relationship between citizen and state? How should the citizen of a modern democracy react to the state’s willingness to set aside moral considerations and civil liberties in its war on terror, a war that includes the use of torture? How does the state handle outsiders?
In the laundry-room of his apartment block he encounters an alluring young woman. When he discovers she is between jobs he claims failing eyesight and offers her work typing up his manuscript. Anya has no interest in politics but the job provides a distraction, as does the writer’s evident and not unwelcome attraction toward her.
Her boyfriend, Alan, an investment consultant who understands the world in harsh neo-liberal economic terms, has reservations about his trophy girlfriend spending time with this 1960s throwback. Taking a lively interest in his affairs, Alan begins to formulate a plan.
Diary of a Bad Year is an utterly contemporary work of fiction from one of our greatest writers and deepest thinkers. It addresses the profound unease of countless people in democracies across the world.

读后感
《凶年纪事》很好看，不仅在于内容的丰富，还在于结构的精巧，宛如赋格。书的每页都分作三栏，三种声部同时各自发音而又彼此缠绕、相互呼应，以复调形式在文本中、故事里荡展开来，对位谨致，和声恢宏。最上栏又分作两部分——危言与随札，前者是老作家J.C.的政论文字，关于国...
评分《凶年纪事》展现了一种崭新的结构之美。 这种结构是视觉的，一目了然的，而非概念上的（如《生命不能承受之轻》的所谓复调）。 我们在一页纸上可以自上而下同时看到三个层次的人： 思想家：妄图对人类的所有重大问题发言 艺术家：总是在关心自己的创作冲动（性冲动） 普通...

评分阅读库切的这本书是在一个月前。当时我对这部作品不甚满意，因为他写了一些我刚刚认清的局限。但这部作品的情节却在这段时间不断在我的脑海中再现，伴随着那个中心词——耻。现在写下的这篇文章，是为了释放虬结在脑壳里的思想。如果幸运，还可以将它们梳理通顺，变成比较确定...
评分这只是我一些狂想，与书无关。忽略忽略。 曾经我认为我最喜欢的书是梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》，因为我看过整整六遍，无数次地重复翻阅、摘抄、默诵。 后来我觉得库切的《青春》也很不错。 舍友说：“大概你喜欢别人真诚的模样。”“但是那个模样也不是他们最真实的样子。” 真不是一...
