from the award-winning, bestselling author of "life of pi" comes a mesmerizing and brilliant exploration of the limitations of language in understanding and describing the horrors of the holocaust.

and, it has the most wonderful description about a pear i've ever read in any book, given the circumstances around the scene. "those who carry a knife and a pear are never afraid of the dark."()

这本书应该在扉页上印上这句话:all hope abandon ye who enter here ("来者呀,快将一切希望弃扬。")因为这个看似莫名其妙、非常意识流、故事里面又嵌套着数个故事的故事,本质上是我们时代的《神曲》。更具体一点,是犹太大屠杀——或者任何类似的大屠杀、无论是刚果金、加...

大概小半年才看完 有部分pace太拖沓 结尾很精彩 印象最深的部分居然是作者对梨的描写

开头的确很引人入胜,中间的确有些拖沓,结尾的确很震撼。 1.taxidermist是否就是那个小男孩? 2.回到小说写作的层次,作者讨论了“故事是否必须涉及人物或故事的改变”。beatrice和virgil似乎没有变化,但是故事的实际主人公henry和taxidermist的确发生了变化。henry起承转合的变化非常明显,taxidermist的变化可能是与其小孩时期的作为相比。 3.让人想到《紫... 开头的确很引人入胜,中间的确有些拖沓,结尾的确很震撼。 1.taxidermist是否就是那个小男孩? 2.回到小说写作的层次,作者讨论了“故事是否必须涉及人物或故事的改变”。beatrice和virgil似乎没有变化,但是故事的实际主人公henry和taxidermist的确发生了变化。henry起承转合的变化非常明显,taxidermist的变化可能是与其小孩时期的作为相比。 3.让人想到《紫日》,那部电影中,男主人公是否发生了改变了呢?也许是他从“日本都是坏的”,变为了“日本人当中有好的”?

最后gustav的game cards也太沉重了🌒martel对细节的刻画太传神了…taxidermist的那个笑容诡异到了骨子里

看之前完全不知道是讲大屠杀的书,算是一次用虚构题材讲述大屠杀的有力尝试。前半部分的铺垫是真的冗长,最后剧情急转直下,还有大段虐杀动物的细节描写,让读者有些措手不及。

元大屠杀小说,有太多遗憾,是否可以写得更精妙

我好喜欢……看完就好像henry一样爱上了beatrice和virgil,结尾想到他们也一并消失了也像henry一样流下眼泪。无论是故事内部的故事讲述“the horrors”的list,还是戏剧高明的象征性和其间关于pear和faith的那么多精彩纷呈的对话,还是这个复杂的嵌套结构所最终层层反射的那种语言与记忆的无力性,我都喜欢得不得了…瑕疵是转折来得有些突然(可以再做伏笔),其次是关于henr... 我好喜欢……看完就好像henry一样爱上了beatrice和virgil,结尾想到他们也一并消失了也像henry一样流下眼泪。无论是故事内部的故事讲述“the horrors”的list,还是戏剧高明的象征性和其间关于pear和faith的那么多精彩纷呈的对话,还是这个复杂的嵌套结构所最终层层反射的那种语言与记忆的无力性,我都喜欢得不得了…瑕疵是转折来得有些突然(可以再做伏笔),其次是关于henry有些“前摇过长”。 ()
