Synopsis
The poignant -- and at times very funny -- new novel from the author of THE MAGICIAN'S ASSISTANT, shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Latin terrorists storm an international gathering hosted by an underprivileged country to promote foreign interest and trade, only to find that their intended target, the President, has stayed home to watch his favourite soap opera on TV. Among the hostages are a world class opera singer and her biggest fan, a Japanese tycoon who has been persuaded to attend the party on the understanding that she will perform half a dozen arias after dinner. The tycoon's engaging and sympathetic translator plays a vital role in the subsequent relationships between so many different nationalities closeted together, interpreting not only the terrorists' negotiations but also the language of love between lovers who cannot understand what the other is saying. Ultimately, it is the terrorist strike that does more to promote foreign relations than anyone could have hoped to achieve with the party.

评分如果你被简介的里恐怖分子,政客,绑架这些词吸引,以为是一部情节紧张的政治黑幕小说的话那就错了。它是一部即温暖又有徐徐微风拂面的小说。译后中介绍这部小说之所以拿到橘子奖,是因为作者运用了大量的古典文学手法,通篇有一种优雅。翻译没有翻成古典文学,但运用了大量散...
评分梦见舒伯特的狗 黄昱宁 “他的手指在睡梦中轻轻抽搐,几乎叫人觉察不出,就像是一只梦见了舒伯特的狗。” 《美声》写到第271页时,结局已近在咫尺。风暴前的宁静夜,书中这个次要角色的睡态描写简直就是作者典型风格的缩微形式:轻灵,幽默,精准的比喻,甜美而异样的氛围铺...
