Nine men. Each of them at a different stage in life, each of them away from home, and each of them striving--in the suburbs of Prague, in an overdeveloped Alpine village, beside a Belgian motorway, in a dingy Cyprus hotel--to understand what it means to be alive, here and now. Tracing a dramatic arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, the ostensibly separate narratives of All That Man Is aggregate into a picture of a single shared existence, a picture that interrogates the state of modern manhood while bringing to life, unforgettably, the physical and emotional terrain of an increasingly globalized Europe. And so these nine lives form an ingenious and new kind of novel, in which David Szalay expertly plots a dark predicament for the twenty-first-century man.
Dark and disturbing, but also often wickedly and uproariously comic, All That Man Is is notable for the acute psychological penetration Szalay brings to bear on his characters, from the working-class ex-grunt to the pompous college student, the middle-aged loser to the Russian oligarch. Steadily and mercilessly, as this brilliantly conceived book progresses, the protagonist at the center of each chapter is older than the last one, it gets colder out, and All That Man Is gathers exquisite power. Szalay is a writer of supreme gifts--a master of a new kind of realism that vibrates with detail, intelligence, relevance, and devastating pathos.
David Szalay is the author of London and the South-East, which won the Betty Trask Prize and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize; The Innocent; and Spring. In 2013 he was named one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists. He lives in Budapest.
题材不错 无奈作者的同理心太乏味
评分怎么会有这么蛋疼的书。更蛋疼的是我竟然一直没有止损,差不多读完了。
评分????不喜欢却又不得不承认一部分很现实。看完了就不用再直面这怯弱、荒诞、可怜又可恨的人性了吧。
评分每一篇小说的男主人公都比前一篇的大五岁,虽然所有故事发生在同一时间,但涵盖了欧洲白人男性的一生
评分男性讲故事不稀奇,但讲男性故事是不多的。这一本讲出了不同阶段男性的感性、失落和本质上的绝望感,是标准的文学结晶。有点遗憾颗粒比较小,是九个短故事,但里面提到的文艺版图、欧洲地理,织成了双重蛛网,制造出更大的隐喻。
