A dazzling cycle of short stories by one of China s most revered contemporary writers and one of the world s leading artist-intellectuals.
An Empty Room is the first book by the celebrated Chinese writer Mu Xin toappear in English. A cycle of thirteen tenderly evocative stories written whileMu Xin was living in exile, this collection is reminiscent of the structural beautyof Hemingway s In Our Time and the imagistic power of Kawabata s palm-of-the-hand stories. From the ordinary (a bus accident) to the unusual (Buddhisthalos) to the wise (Goethe, Lao Zi), Mu Xin s wandering I interweaves plotswith philosophical grace and spiritual profundity. A small blue bowl becomes asymbol of vanishing childhood; a painter in a race against fading memory scribblesnotes in an underground prison during the Cultural Revolution; an abandonedtemple room holds a dark mystery. An Empty Room is a soul-stirringpage turner, a Sebaldian reverie of passing time, loss, and humanity regained.
Mu Xin, born in 1927 in China, is among the last of his generation to receive a classical education. During the Cultural Revolution he was imprisoned for eighteen months and then lived under house arrest for several years. In 1982 he moved to the U.S., where he lived in Queens, New York, and only recently moved back to his hometown in China. He is the author of several collections of stories, poetry, and essays, as well as being a world-renowned painter.
非是童明先生不够优秀,然而英文行间依旧透着中文的翻译味,木心文字特有的韵感与节奏感荡然无存。《出版人周刊》的推荐评论也只是大赏木心的文革背景。西方的文评总是如此,对中国的趣味多半集中在文革上,买椟还珠式的审美。纵使木心行文只把过往当做远景,纵使木心极力隐藏自己、避免被贴上文革旧人的标签。
评分Faraway birthday...I miss you,sir.
评分“What interests me is not "things past" but how to achieve simultaneously two 'I''s' through remembrance: One is long dead, the other still living."... "There are two... relevant proverbs: One is: 'Life is found in a desperate condition.' The other is 'Put someone in the place of death so that there can be a rebirth of life.'
评分就是温莎墓园日记。比中文原版加颗星,因为译得已几近完美。再完美的英译本一看就是中文,因为从来没有过长句。拥有这种密度,这种能将普鲁士特的意识流牵得直直下坠的重力的语言,是西方眼里跨越了千年也猜不透的蒙娜丽莎。
