David Lodge(1935– ), English novelist and critic, b. London, grad. University College, London (B.A., M.A.) and the Univ. of Birmingham (Ph.D.). Lodge taught at the Univ. of Birmingham (1960–87), during which time he wrote studies of Graham Greene (1966) and Evelyn Waugh (1971). His works of criticism, which deal mainly with modern literary theory, include The Language of Fiction (1966), The Modes of Modern Writing (1977), Working with Structuralism (1981), The Art of Fiction (1992), and Consciousness and the Novel (2002). Since 1987 he has been a full-time writer. Lodge has used his deep intimacy with the academic world in many of his novels, which reveal a talent for deft characterization, wry humor, and incisive commentary. At its best, Lodge's fiction combines satire with humane sympathy for his characters. His novels include The Picturegoers (1960), Changing Places (1979), Small World (1985), Nice Work (1988), Paradise News (1991), Therapy (1995), and Thinks... (2001).

Funny and moving by turns, Deaf Sentence is a witty, original and absorbing account of one man’s effort to come to terms with deafness, ageing and mortality, and the comedy and tragedy of human lives.

When the university merged his Department of English with Linguistics, Professor Desmond Bates took early retirement, but he is not enjoying it. He misses the routine of the academic year and has lost his appetite for research. His wife Winifred’s late-flowering career goes from strength to strength, reducing his role to that of escort, while the rejuvenation of her appearance makes him uneasily conscious of the age gap between them. The monotony of his days is relieved only by wearisome journeys to London to check on his aged father who stubbornly refuses to leave the house he is patently unable to live in with safety.

But these discontents are nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss — a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment, leading Desmond into mistakes, misunderstandings and follies. It might be comic for others, but for the deaf person himself, it is no joke. It is his deafness which inadvertently involves Desmond with a young woman whose wayward behaviour threatens to destabilize his life completely.

两周前去fnac的时候无意中看到新书货架上摆着一本David Lodge的《La vie en sourdine》,David Lodge竟然出新书了而且我一点都不知道。后来回家上网一查,原来这本《Deaf Sentence》就是David Lodge最新的一本小说,出版于今年五月,而法文的翻译版也是八月底的时候才刚出版。...

有趣的是,读这本书的时候我也在读《失明症漫记》,《失明症漫记》开场的神秘荒诞占了上峰,我更愿意看【失明】,等到“杀戮”开始后,就翻不动了……转投到【失聪】后显得轻松了很多,作者也对失明和失聪做了比照,也承认听不见比看不见好得多,在残疾里是最轻微的,但是不管...

4.5分。很快讀完了。文彩飛揚。很多話題,失聰、退休、年老、新人物、新性格,沒有想像中的那麼值得期待,也沒有一以貫之得難以接受。有時候是會覺得,人生確實值得嘲笑一番,再失去一些興趣的。

断断续续读了几个月才读完,因为有一点点沉闷,看到最后几十页甚至知道看到最后才欲罢不能,还记得念大学时看得Lodge的两本书都是荒诞乐中不经意夹杂着丝丝伤感,而这本是一直很伤感,到结尾迸发!

评分

结尾稍有点仓促。不过整体还是DL一贯谐谑的风格。tragicomic。

挺无聊的...主题不是很明确,但又不是那种本来就是没主题的设定。读也罢不读也罢没有区别。
