Shortlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize
A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, The Narrow Road To The Deep North is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.
Richard Flanagan (born 1961) is an author, historian and film director from Tasmania, Australia. He was president of the Tasmania University Union and a Rhodes Scholar. Each of his novels has attracted major praise. His first, Death of a River Guide (1994), was short-listed for the Miles Franklin Award, as were his next two, The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997) and Gould's Book of Fish (2001). His earlier, non-fiction titles include books about the Gordon River, student issues, and the story of conman John Friedrich.
Two of his novels are set on the West Coast of Tasmania; where he lived in the township of Rosebery as a child. Death of a River Guide relates to the Franklin River, Gould's Book of Fish to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station, and The Sound of One Hand Clapping to the Hydro settlements in the Central Highlands of Tasmania.

这本纸质书已经买了有小几个月了。最初看了一会,觉得没啥意思,就一直搁置至今。今天正好状态对头,捡起来就杯咖啡就看进去了。我发现,要解码此书并不容易,需要精力集中并且状态对头。否则,书中文字看起来就是乱码。丰富的细节以神经质的方式突噜出来,形神一体,关键是怪异。字不够不说了。
评分最近正在试图读些当代小说作为调剂.......欢迎推荐...
评分不太喜欢这种炫技式故作深沉的文笔。对我来说本书算是普及了下泰缅公路的那段历史,但爱情线写得太直男,实在受不了。
评分邂逅:2015年5月1日央图; 旅程:2015年5月1日-2015年5月26日; 地点:坡县、欧洲; Only after I turned over the last page did it suddenly strike me that it has been the best novel I have ever read for nearly two years. The beginning, or indeed the whole plot, was somewhat blatant: war, love, betrayal, prisoner, feeling guilty or the lack of it. But it was an entirely new experien
评分实至名归。尽管直接描述POW的篇幅不多 但那传达的痛苦 无能为力和悲伤让人哭都哭不出来。谁都不是幸存者。等中文版出来我一定要再读一遍
