Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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."""
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.

評分Venice部分是一切都在上升、蒸騰,最後消失在水汽中;Varanasi部分是在下沉、浸沒,最後消融在恒河中。兩部分都特彆喜歡,看完心情復雜但又在某種程度上是純粹的覺悟。

乔纳森 发表于《东方早报》2009年8月2日 英国文学里没有“私小说”这样的批评术语,并不等于说没有类似的文艺作品。克里斯托弗·衣舍伍德、金斯利·艾米斯等现代小说家,都写过广义上的“私小说”,甚至可以这样说,要从气质上分类,他们是天生的“私小说”作家,全部虚构...
