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.

2k3NobelWinner 一本很简单的书,不需费力即可理解。
评分1).库切本人的政治观点对于评价这本书全然不重要。2).我不管傻逼评论家怎么叫嚣结构散漫灵感消退;我认为这本和伊丽莎白.科斯特洛同属库切目前的最佳作品。仍然在被冲击的余波中无法组织语言,留待长评。

I was startled by the directness of this book, coming from Coetzee. Famously the author never lends himself for display. His conditions for giving one of those rare interviews are: no questions about his life, politics or his books. He would only speak abou...
评分不出所料,库切又写了一本复杂的小说。而且这是他迄今为止最为复杂的一部作品,结构形式上的精巧与夸张超过了以“炫技”著称的《伊丽莎白•科斯特洛的八堂课》,主题则比以往的所有的作品都更驳杂。 这也是他写的最轻松的一本书。单看三层“脚手架”中、下栏的叙述,透露着纳...
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...

评分迄今为止,围绕着库切这本《凶年纪事》仍然是无休无止的争议和疑虑:争议来自政治方面,很多人惊讶地看到这位老作家在书中为“9.11”事件之后的残酷的恐怖主义袭击辩护;疑虑的则是另外一方面,《凶年纪事》极具“陌生化”的形式主义方面的革新,是不是意味着这位曾荣获诺贝尔...
