Everything is over for Simon Axler, the protagonist of Philip Roth's startling new book. One of the leading American stage actors of his generation, now in his sixties, he has lost his magic, his talent, and his assurance. His Falstaff and Peer Gynt and Vanya, all his great roles, "are melted into air, into thin air." When he goes onstage he feels like a lunatic and looks like an idiot. His confidence in his powers has drained away; he imagines people laughing at him; he can no longer pretend to be someone else. "Something fundamental has vanished." His wife has gone, his audience has left him, his agent can't persuade him to make a comeback. Into this shattering account of inexplicable and terrifying self-evacuation bursts a counterplot of unusual erotic desire, a consolation for a bereft life so risky and aberrant that it points not toward comfort and gratification but to a yet darker and more shocking end. In this long day's journey into night, told with Roth's inimitable urgency, bravura, and gravity, all the ways that we convince ourselves of our solidity, all our life's performances--talent, love, sex, hope, energy, reputation--are stripped off. "The Humbling" is Roth's thirtieth book.
'Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,and then is heard no more; it is tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.' Why is Philip Roth always so cruel to people as old as himself? It is just that old age is really a massacre, just like he said in Patrimony?
評分這樣的書怎麼就bestseller瞭啊這樣的作者怎麼現在就這麼紅啊圖書館為什麼就進他和萊辛阿姨那麼多的新書啊。。。
評分果然像書評講的“Elegant and cruel”,作者對文字的掌控絕對一流,幾處對白甚至帶上瞭戲劇腔。 但!是!幾段性愛描寫還能再簡單粗暴一點嗎整天嘮叨他們如何放置身體器官啊跟紀錄片一樣一點纏綿的意境都沒有!
