具体描述
A searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam Youthis a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. The narrator ofYouth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, studies mathematics, reads poetry, saves money, trying to ensure that when he escapes to the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity and transform it into art. Arriving in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.

读后感
张爱玲早早的说了，出名要趁早。毕竟没有出名的还是大多数的，也是沉默的大多数，过着没有青春的青春。 库切不动声色的张牙舞爪让人心慌意乱，不同的年代，不同的性别，不同的国度，但是却有那么多相同的想法，真是一件神奇的事情。 黯淡的前途，平凡的生活，内向的性格，举...
评分那个冬日的午后，我坐在操场看这本书。阳光柔和，没有力度。我看一会儿就会抬起头来，那些可怜笨拙的念想在心中张望。再低头我就看到了这句话：他的希望是，从他活动于其中的没有特点的人群中会有一个回应他的眼神的女子，一言不发地悄然来到他的身旁。 可她能回应我的眼神吗？...
评分Youth (Scenes From Provincial Life II) J.M.Coetzee Viking 2002 几月前因诺贝尔奖的盛名，读了库切描写南非白人境遇和种族矛盾的小说“耻”，有点儿难以承担书中的压抑感。这本作者二十多岁时在伦敦的移民生活的自传还是妹妹介绍的，虽然库切的语气依然压抑灰色，却有不...
评分书里有三张库切的照片。封一的太仓老，编辑手记前的中规中矩，封底的最俊朗，眼睛里有柔和的光。出版社目的昭彰，一路往才色双修上靠去。 遥远的大背景，独特的经历，却能使人共鸣。他要摆脱混乱的祖国，摆脱母亲的溺爱，摆脱平庸，摆脱他不齿的社会俗见，进入纯粹的艺...
评分读完这本书，我想到的第一件事就是，马上去看书架上另外几本库切的书，发现不是同一个译者翻的，舒了一口气。慎用长句啊。 几例： “他们对白人的感情和头脑不感兴趣，肯定更不是几个格格不入的非洲白人的感情和头脑。”（P169） “如何无论多么不可能，每个人最后都找到了...
