具体描述

From Publishers Weekly This fourth effort from British writer Winterson ( Sexing the Cherry ) is a high-concept erotic novelette, a Vox for the postmarital crowd. The narrator, a lifelong philanderer ("I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick"), has fallen in love with Louise, a pre-Raphaelite beauty. Louise is unhappily married to a workaholic cancer researcher, so the narrator leads her into a sexually combative affair. This scenario seems obvious enough, but Winterson never reveals whether the narrator is male or female. Rather, she teases readers out of their expectations about women and men and romance: Louise calls the narrator "the most beautiful creature male or female that I have ever seen," and the narrator observes, "I thought difference was rated to be the largest part of sexual attraction but there are so many things about us that are the same." When the narrator breaks off the affair after learning that Louise has cancer--only her husband can cure her--the work turns into a eulogy for lost love. Winterson manipulates gender expertly here, but her real achievement is her manipulation of genre : the capacious first-person narration, now addressed to the reader, now to the lover, enfolds aphorisms, meditations on extracts from an anatomy textbook, and essayistic riffs on science, virtual reality and the art of fiction ("I don't want to reproduce, I want to create something entirely new"). "It's as if Louise never existed," the narrator observes, "like a character in a book. Did I invent her?" One wonders, as Winterson intends, and then wonders some more. For Louise--and the narrator's love for her--never seems quite real; in this cold-hearted novel love itself, however eloquently expressed, is finally nothing more than a product of the imagination. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Like Andre Breton's dizzying poem, "Ma Femme a la chevelure de feu de bois" ("my woman with her belly like the unfolding fan of days/... My woman with her swan's back buttocks"), the narrator of Winterson's ( Sexing the Cherry , LJ 2/15/90) new novel relentlessly celebrates the beauty of a beloved woman's body--but the trick here is that we do not know whether the narrator is a man or a woman. The story is minimal and not altogether original: a corrusive sensualist experiences many women but finally becomes obsessed with one, stealing her from her husband, only to discover that she has been guarding a terrible secret: she is threatened by a terminal illness. The fascination is the lush, plush language and the way two aspects of the physical--passion and bodily decay--are delicately interwoven. Not to everyone's taste, but serious readers and sensualists will enjoy. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/92.- Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

寂静的印记 故事梗概 《寂静的印记》是一部关于记忆、身份与情感纠葛的深刻描绘。故事以第一人称的叙述视角展开,主人公是一位在喧嚣都市中过着平凡生活的女性,她的名字直到故事的后期才缓缓浮现。她曾是一位才华横溢的艺术家,但一场突如其来的变故,让她的人生轨迹发生了翻天覆地的变化,也让她内心深处埋藏了许多难以言说的秘密。 故事从主人公接到一封来自旧识的信件开始。这封信唤醒了她尘封多年的记忆,那些关于爱情、失去、背叛以及自我救赎的片段如潮水般涌来,打乱了她平静的生活。她开始重新审视自己过往的人生,那些曾经以为已经遗忘的画面,那些曾经以为已经释怀的情感,此刻却以一种令人窒息的真实感重新席卷而来。 主人公的过去, woven with the threads of a passionate and complex relationship. She loved deeply, perhaps too much, and in that love, she lost a part of herself. The relationship was not a simple fairy tale; it was a tempestuous dance of desire, intellect, and unspoken truths. There were moments of exquisite joy, shared dreams whispered under starry skies, and a profound connection that felt almost spiritual. But there were also shadows, misunderstandings, and a sense of impending doom that clung to them like an ill-fitting garment. The narrative skillfully weaves between the present and the past, blurring the lines between what is real and what is a memory replayed. We learn about the people who shaped her life, particularly a charismatic and enigmatic figure who was once the center of her universe. This individual, with their compelling aura and often contradictory nature, left an indelible mark on her soul. Their interactions were a blend of intellectual sparring and raw emotional vulnerability, creating a bond that was both exhilarating and terrifying. As the story progresses, the reader is privy to the protagonist’s internal struggles. She grapples with the question of who she truly is, separate from the roles she has played and the relationships she has endured. The silence she has maintained for so long begins to fracture, revealing the profound impact of past experiences on her present identity. The "written on the body" metaphor, while not explicitly stated in the story's title, becomes a powerful undercurrent—the unspoken pain, the emotional scars, the unexpressed desires that have become an intrinsic part of her physical and psychological being. The narrative is not driven by a fast-paced plot, but rather by the gradual unfolding of emotions and the intricate exploration of human psychology. The author employs vivid imagery and evocative language to paint a rich tapestry of sensory details, allowing the reader to feel the sting of regret, the warmth of forgotten affection, and the chilling realization of past mistakes. The setting itself plays a crucial role, with descriptions of cityscapes, quiet studios, and secluded natural landscapes mirroring the protagonist’s internal emotional states. One of the key themes explored is the nature of memory and how it can be both a source of comfort and a cruel tormentor. The protagonist’s attempts to reconcile her past self with her present reality are fraught with challenges. She questions the reliability of her own recollections, wondering if her perception of events has been colored by time and the desire for self-preservation. The narrative doesn't offer easy answers; instead, it invites the reader to contemplate the subjective nature of truth and the complexities of personal history. Furthermore, the novel delves into the concept of forgiveness—both the act of forgiving others and the even more arduous task of forgiving oneself. The protagonist’s journey is one of gradual self-acceptance, a slow shedding of the burdens she has carried for so long. She learns that true freedom comes not from erasing the past, but from understanding it, integrating it, and ultimately, transforming its pain into a source of strength. The relationships in the story are nuanced and multi-layered. Beyond the central, consuming romance, there are glimpses of other connections—friendships tested by time and distance, family ties that are both a source of support and unspoken conflict. These secondary relationships serve to further illuminate the protagonist's character and the various ways in which she has navigated the complexities of human connection. As the story draws towards its conclusion, the protagonist begins to find a sense of peace, not by resolving every past conflict, but by coming to terms with her own narrative. The "written on the body" becomes a testament to her resilience, a map of her experiences that has shaped her into the person she is today. The ending is not necessarily a neat resolution, but rather a hopeful affirmation of life and the enduring capacity for growth, even in the face of profound emotional turmoil. The silence that once defined her is replaced by a quiet understanding, a gentle acknowledgment of the indelible marks left upon her, not as wounds, but as stories waiting to be told, finally, to herself. The prose is lyrical and introspective, inviting the reader to pause and reflect. There are moments of profound beauty interspersed with passages of raw, unflinching honesty. The author masterfully captures the subtle shifts in emotion and the unspoken desires that often lie beneath the surface of everyday interactions. The protagonist’s voice is distinct and compelling, drawing the reader into her world with an intimate and almost palpable connection. The novel explores the idea that some experiences, some loves, and some losses, are so profound that they become etched into our very being. They are not simply events that happened; they are integral parts of who we are, shaping our perspectives, influencing our choices, and leaving behind a silent, enduring testament. The protagonist's journey is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, its capacity to heal, to grow, and to find meaning even in the midst of life's most challenging chapters. Ultimately, "寂静的印记" is a novel that lingers long after the last page is turned. It is a meditation on the invisible threads that bind us to our past, the echoes of emotions that resonate within us, and the quiet strength that emerges from confronting the indelible marks left upon the soul. It is a story about the courage it takes to face the silence, to acknowledge the imprint of lived experience, and to finally, in the quiet spaces within, begin to understand the profound narrative of a life fully, and sometimes painfully, felt.

by 徐瑾 “在世的最了不起的作家”、“弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫真正的继承者”据称是“橘子小姐”珍妮特·温特森的自况,出版商的口号则是“当代最好也是最有争议的作家之一”。事实上,如果她不是当代最好的女性作者,也必然是最特别的之一。 1959年,温特森出生于英国的曼彻斯...

不知道为什么,珍妮特的这个开头怎么看都像政治隐喻,也许最近看这方面题材太多了(我是那种善于过“隐喻和转义”等发夹弯的漂移选手),我是真的即不想站在以色列,也不想站在巴勒斯坦的,或者巴基斯坦的什么地方,我只是想靠在约旦河西岸静静地看一下珍妮特的新作《写在身体...

我一直在想,温特森的这本书,应该用一种什么感觉来形容。熨帖。我觉得就是这样,包括bololo的译笔。我跑回立早的推荐贴里去看,才想起来用了跟她一样的形容词。不用翻书皮上的名字,不用从她字里行间猜测主人公的性别,我也能知道,只有女人才能写出爱一个人时这种百转千回的...

用户评价

在人物塑造方面,这本书展现出了一种令人不安的真实感。这些角色,他们不是符号,不是被设定好去完成特定情节的工具,他们更像是从你我身边真实走出来,带着各自无法言说的秘密和矛盾在挣扎的个体。最让我印象深刻的是其中一个配角,他的每一次犹豫、每一次欲言又止,都比那些慷慨激昂的独白来得更有力量。你会感觉到,他们呼吸的频率、心跳的鼓点,甚至是对同一件事产生不同看法的细微差异,都被作者精准地捕捉并记录了下来。阅读过程中,我时常会代入到他们的处境中,去感受那种被困住的无力感,或是偶尔闪现的、微不足道的希望火花。这种强烈的共情体验,使得阅读过程不再是孤立的,而更像是一场深刻的、秘密的心理对话。我甚至开始好奇,作者在构建这些人物时,是否也曾花费大量时间去观察现实世界中那些“边缘人”的生存状态。

评分

这本书的封面设计简直是一场视觉盛宴,那种略带复古的字体排版,配上那张仿佛能诉说千言万语的留白,初次翻开时,我的心跳都不由自主地慢了半拍。我总觉得,好的作品不仅仅是文字的堆砌,更是一种氛围的营造,而这本作品,仅仅是通过它的外观,就已经成功地将我拉入了一个特定的情绪场域。内页的纸张质感也颇为讲究,那种略微粗粝却又带着温暖触感的触觉反馈,让人忍不住想要用指尖去描摹每一个字迹。我花了很长时间仅仅是端详这些文字是如何被安放在页面上的,那种排版上的疏密有致,仿佛是作者在呼吸的节奏,有急促,有舒缓,有停顿,这让我对即将阅读的内容充满了敬畏和期待。它不像那种一眼就能看完的快消品,更像是一件需要细细品味的艺术品,每一个章节的分割,每一次墨色的深浅,都在无声地向我传递着一种“慢下来”的信号。这种对实体形态的极致追求,已经超越了纯粹的阅读体验,而上升到了一种对审美和匠人精神的致敬。

评分

故事的开篇,我原以为会是一场波澜壮阔的叙事展开,但出乎意料的是,它选择了一种极其内敛、近乎于耳语的方式切入。那种细腻到令人发指的观察力,聚焦于日常生活中那些最容易被忽略的微小细节——清晨窗帘缝隙里透进来的第一缕光,咖啡杯边缘残留的那一丝水渍的形状,甚至是邻居关门时发出的那种特有的“咔哒”声。作者似乎拥有某种魔力,能将这些平凡的瞬间提炼、放大,并赋予它们近乎于哲学的重量。我常常需要停下来,合上书本,抬眼看看我自己的周遭环境,试图用这种方式来校准自己的感知,看看我是否也错过了生活中那些同样闪耀的碎片。这种书写风格的克制,反而制造了一种巨大的张力,让你不得不全神贯注地去捕捉那些潜藏在字里行间的暗示和潜台词。它不是在“告诉我”什么,而是在“展示”给我看,这种高明的叙事技巧,让读者从被动的接收者,瞬间变成了主动的探索者。

评分

语言的运用上,这本书达到了近乎于诗歌的境界,但它又巧妙地避开了那种矫揉造作的华丽辞藻堆砌。作者的遣词造句,更像是精确的手术刀,每一刀都切在了情绪的要害之处。她擅长使用一些非常规的意象和比喻,比如将“遗憾”描述成“一块被反复揉搓,最终变得光滑但失去了弹性的旧布”,这种具体的、可触摸的描述,瞬间激活了我的感官记忆。更难能可贵的是,她的文字保持了一种令人惊喜的透明度,尽管意象丰富,但其核心意义却从未变得晦涩难懂。这使得阅读体验变成了一种持续的、轻微的愉悦感,你不需要费力去“破解”文字背后的意思,而是自然而然地被文字的流动性所牵引着向前。读完最后一个标点符号,我久久无法平静,不是因为情节的跌宕起伏,而是因为那种被纯粹而优美的语言所浸润过的精神满足感,久久不散。

评分

这本书的结构处理,简直是一场高难度的建筑设计。它没有遵循传统的时间线索,而是像一张被打乱的拼图,信息点和情感片段被巧妙地散落在不同的时间维度中,彼此之间依靠着某种微妙的情感共振而非线性的逻辑来连接。起初阅读时,我感到有些迷茫,就像是在一个巨大的迷宫中摸索方向,那些跳跃式的叙事,一会儿是童年的某个场景,一会儿又瞬间拉回到了当下的某个决定。但正是这种看似混乱的结构,在后期却爆发出惊人的聚合力。当那些看似不相关的碎片最终在某个关键的转折点上完美契合时,那种“原来如此”的震撼感,是任何平铺直叙的故事都无法比拟的。这种对叙事节奏的掌控,体现出作者极高的文学自觉性,她清楚地知道什么时候该给予读者片刻的喘息,什么时候又该用突如其来的信息冲击来重新激活读者的思维。
