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.
翻譯有點平庸……
評分就是溫莎墓園日記。比中文原版加顆星,因為譯得已幾近完美。再完美的英譯本一看就是中文,因為從來沒有過長句。擁有這種密度,這種能將普魯士特的意識流牽得直直下墜的重力的語言,是西方眼裏跨越瞭韆年也猜不透的濛娜麗莎。
評分童明的英譯,又讓我愛一次木心。
評分非是童明先生不夠優秀,然而英文行間依舊透著中文的翻譯味,木心文字特有的韻感與節奏感蕩然無存。《齣版人周刊》的推薦評論也隻是大賞木心的文革背景。西方的文評總是如此,對中國的趣味多半集中在文革上,買櫝還珠式的審美。縱使木心行文隻把過往當做遠景,縱使木心極力隱藏自己、避免被貼上文革舊人的標簽。
