Geoff Dyer is the author of Ways of Telling, critical study of John Berger; The Missing of the Somme, about World War I; and the novels Paris Trance, Out of Sheer Rage, The Color of Memory and The Search.
A wildly original novel of erotic fulfillment and spiritual yearning. Every two years the international art world descends on Venice for the opening of the Biennale. Among them is Jeff Atman-a jaded and dissolute journalist-whose dedication to the cause of Bellini-fuelled partygoing is only intermittently disturbed by the obligation to file a story. When he meets the spellbinding Laura, he is rejuvenated, ecstatic. Their romance blossoms quickly, but is it destined to disappear just as rapidly? Every day thousands of pilgrims head to the banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Among their number is a narrator who may or may not be the Atman previously seen in Venice. Intending to visit only for a few days he ends up staying for months, and suddenly finds-or should that be loses?-a hitherto unexamined idea of himself, "the "self. In a romance he can only observe, he sees a reflection of the kind of pleasures that, willingly or not, he has renounced. In the process, two ancient and watery cities become versions of each other. Could two stories, in two different cities, actually be one and the same story? Nothing Geoff Dyer has written before is as wonderfully unbridled, as dead-on in evocation of place, longing and the possibility of neurotic enlightenment, and as irrepressibly entertaining as "Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi."""
《杰夫在威尼斯,死亡在瓦拉纳西》的奇特之处,不仅在于其长长的、具模糊识别度的书名,还有它别致的结构。整部书由两部分构成,却不具备常见的连贯性,情节无联系,发生的空间一在威尼斯,一在瓦拉纳西,故事主人公亦无法确认是否同一人,因为头一个故事采全知视角叙事,主...
评分小说名以逗号分隔,标明由一分为二的两个故事组成,两者在人物,地点和事件上并无交集,相似处仅在皆为滨水的古城。第一个故事讲述伦敦自由撰稿人杰夫按照约稿前往威尼斯参加双年展,并撰写相关报道,期间发生一段艳遇又转瞬即逝。作者在情节建构上充分发挥互文性,其诸多...

评分没找到想找的书,却在书架上看到了“瓦拉纳西”这四个大字。于是就把这本书借回来看了。 去过印度,没去过瓦拉纳西,但听过N个版本对于这个地方的描述。很多的描述里,那里是内心修炼的圣地,感悟生死,获得心灵上的自由。也有很多的版本,充斥着死尸、粪便和疟疾。“有墙就是...
