In a south Africa turned by war, Michael K. sets out to take his ailing mother back to her rural home. On the way there she dies, leaving him alone in an anarchic world of brutal roving armies. Imprisoned, Michael is unable to bear confinement and escapes, determined to live with dignity. This life affirming novel goes to the center of human experience-the need for an interior, spiritual life; for some connections to the world in which we live; and for purity of vision.

又是一个微缩版的奥德修纪,只不过一开始以为他要回到母亲的故乡,到结尾才知道他是要回到自己的故乡。乍一看是被社会放逐的故事,再一看是再造家园的故事。读第一部分的时候以为跟库切别的小说一样,克制得过分,反而流于平庸,读第二部分的时候有点被感动到,发现医生视角本质就是读者视角,让你知道原来大家都认为他母亲有问题、果然他小时候生存的教育机构有问题。但他的特殊之处在于,他不在乎母亲的漠视与索取,意识不到自己... 又是一个微缩版的奥德修纪,只不过一开始以为他要回到母亲的故乡,到结尾才知道他是要回到自己的故乡。乍一看是被社会放逐的故事,再一看是再造家园的故事。读第一部分的时候以为跟库切别的小说一样,克制得过分,反而流于平庸,读第二部分的时候有点被感动到,发现医生视角本质就是读者视角,让你知道原来大家都认为他母亲有问题、果然他小时候生存的教育机构有问题。但他的特殊之处在于,他不在乎母亲的漠视与索取,意识不到自己是受伤害的,也不在乎自己异乎常人的孝心,所以这个环境反而赋予了他很强的生存能力,让他甚至拥有自由。并不觉得这是政治讽刺小说啊,如果非要说讽刺了什么,应该也不是强权的压迫,而是说,对于K与他母亲这样的人,没有健全的机制本身就是一种压迫吧。 (展开)

看完还是觉得库切获奖作品与我气场不合…这本有点压抑了

库切果然是个stylist,对形式和内容的统一要求很高。读他的小说,能感觉到他在不断探索小说这种文体形式如何能最大限度地表现似是而非的政治、历史、伦理、审美等议题。在第一部分,我们通过聚焦迈克尔跟随他从开普敦艰难地回到他母亲的老家;即便第二部分开始以medical officer的视角叙述,我们始终在关注迈克尔的命运。我觉得库切还是太着急传达他所谓的“意图”了,结果迈克尔从一个边缘人物退化为沉默、... 库切果然是个stylist,对形式和内容的统一要求很高。读他的小说,能感觉到他在不断探索小说这种文体形式如何能最大限度地表现似是而非的政治、历史、伦理、审美等议题。在第一部分,我们通过聚焦迈克尔跟随他从开普敦艰难地回到他母亲的老家;即便第二部分开始以medical officer的视角叙述,我们始终在关注迈克尔的命运。我觉得库切还是太着急传达他所谓的“意图”了,结果迈克尔从一个边缘人物退化为沉默、抽象的概念,叙事过渡不大自然,稍显突兀,而后来的Foe则有更精致、可信的结构。 (展开)
