One of the most celebrated writers of our time gives us his first cycle of short fiction: five brilliantly etched, interconnected stories in which music is a vivid and essential character.
A once-popular singer, desperate to make a comeback, turning from the one certainty in his life . . . A man whose unerring taste in music is the only thing his closest friends value in him . . . A struggling singer-songwriter unwittingly involved in the failing marriage of a couple he’s only just met . . . A gifted, underappreciated jazz musician who lets himself believe that plastic surgery will help his career . . . A young cellist whose tutor promises to “unwrap” his talent . . .
Passion or necessity—or the often uneasy combination of the two—determines the place of music in each of these lives. And, in one way or another, music delivers each of them to a moment of reckoning: sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes just eluding their grasp.
An exploration of love, need, and the ineluctable force of the past, Nocturnes reveals these individuals to us with extraordinary precision and subtlety, and with the arresting psychological and emotional detail that has marked all of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed works of fiction.
石黑一雄,日裔英国小说家,1954年生于日本长崎。1989年获得“布克奖”,与奈保尔、拉什迪并称“英国文坛移民三雄”。
前几天读了石黑一雄《小夜曲》,很有趣,我更喜欢他没有日本腔的小说。读他的第一本书是《别让我走》,后来读了《长日留痕》,都和日本没什么关系。《浮世画家》很浓的日本味道,《远山淡影》也有,让我有一点惊讶,觉得有点不习惯。如果说《别让我走》是痛楚的,那么《小夜曲...
评分我非常佩服石黑一雄的想象力。即使是卡尔维诺的宇宙奇趣那样的想象力也没有很让我佩服。石黑一雄的想象力是鬼魅寄生式的,它里面没有“我”,而他直接在一个什么人身上活起来——一战时的英国男管家(《长日留痕》,这是我最为倾倒的他的小说),二战时的上海孤儿(《...
评分 评分这是石黑一雄的第一本短篇小说集,讲了五个与音乐有关的小故事——确切地说,音乐并不是这五个故事的主要元素,但也不是咖啡厅里背景音乐那样可有可无的存在。濒临过气的歌手、走穴的二重奏夫妇、孤芳自赏的大提琴手……故事的主人公们也许只是普通人,但他们同时因为与音乐的...
评分石黑一雄在中国受尊重而不受欢迎并非偶然,就像写《肠子》的恰克·帕拉尼克在中国受推崇有其基础一样。单是石黑一雄的标志性的温柔的、追思的笔调,就足以令一般中国读者昏昏然。我们这儿,即便限定在严肃文学领域,口味也颇为躁动。这可以部分地解释为什么身边朋友都告诉我《...
呵 看几百年能读完吧 爱他的画面感,也很晕,因为不了解那时的音乐流派。虽然大多作为背景,但感觉不了解还是会有缺憾 英语简单,能提高增强奇怪的自信
评分苦中作乐的音乐家们。

评分在客村图书馆借了纸质,结果看着看着发现还不如Kindle看着舒服,可能是精装不太舒服吧。
