具體描述
Set in the future, a world where the past is a dangerous country, not to be talked about or visited, J is a love story of incomparable strangeness, both tender and terrifying. Two people fall in love, not yet knowing where they have come from or where they are going. Kevern doesn't know why his father always drew two fingers across his lips when he said a world starting with a J. It wasn't then, and isn't now, the time or place to be asking questions. Ailinn too has grown up in the dark about who she was or where she came from. On their first date Kevern kisses the bruises under her eyes. He doesn't ask who hurt her. Brutality has grown commonplace. They aren't sure if they have fallen in love of their own accord, or whether they've been pushed into each other's arms. But who would have pushed them, and why? Hanging over the lives of all the characters in this novel is a momentous catastrophe - a past event shrouded in suspicion, denial and apology, now referred to as What Happened, If It Happened. J is a novel to be talked about in the same breath as Nineteen Eighty Four and Brave New World, thought provoking and life changing. It is like no other novel that Howard Jacobson has written.

讀後感
《J》是著名犹太裔作家霍华德雅各布森的力作。这是一部有一定阅读门槛的小说，在阅读前我们必须考虑作者的犹太裔背景，对犹太人在历史中遭受的苦难有一定了解，才有可能读懂这本书。当然，由于这本书充满了隐喻和引典，即使了解了这些知识背景，我们也不敢说能百分之百读懂书的...
評分官方抹去了书本记载，人们仅仅在口耳相传中，用含混不清、模棱两可的“出事——如果真的出过事”来指代那场事件。 官方从未明令禁止其不喜欢的书籍和音乐，它们仅仅是自动消失或不再演奏了。 流行文化取代了严肃的审美趣味，人们阅读成功学、烹饪书和罗曼史；浪漫情歌代替了会...
評分J是什么？ 是Jew（犹太人），是judge，是joyous，是说到不可说时压到嘴唇上的手指。 犹太人不可提，公平正义不可提，欢乐不可提，只要说到J开头的单词，就要换一个词来表达。这是整本小说反复提到的内容，也是整本书的谜题。 此处不得不提阅读《J》时的体验，可以说是十分艰辛...

評分《J》是一部入围2014年布克奖的新书，据说作者霍华德·雅各布森曾经开玩笑地称自己将写一本没有字母J的书，不过雅各布森的姓氏甚至会在读者读到标题页之前就破坏这个计划。这种缺字游戏其实并不新鲜，曾经由法国乌力波派的乔治·佩雷克等人带入现代小说，后者长达300页的长篇小...

神神叨叨當中帶點發人深省的話語，1984以後的反烏托邦的文學似乎都是這個味道，每次都要花很長時間纔能看進去。
