THE BIG MUSIC
Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B49214
English Summary/英文概要： The hills only come back the same: I don’t mind… Presented as a collection of found papers, appendices and notes, The Big Music tells the story of John Sutherland of ‘The Grey House’, who is dying and creating, in the last days of his life, a musical composition that will define it. Yet he has little idea of how his tune will echo or play out into the world. As the story moves through its themes of death and birth, change and stasis, the sound of his solitary story comes to merge and connect with those around him.
In this work of fiction, Kirsty Gunn has created something as real as a piece of music or a dream. One emerges at the end of it altered and changed. Not so much a novel as a place the reader comes to inhabit and know.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《伟大的音乐》作为一些已找到的材料，附录和笔记的集合，告诉了读者有关John Sutherland的《灰屋子》的创作故事，这是在他生命的最后一天创作的曲子，有着非同凡响的意义，虽然他自己并不知道他的曲子将会对这个世界产生什么影响。随着有关生命和死亡，改变与停滞的主题交替进行，这个曲子原本独立的故事开始与他周围的人和事紧密地交织和联系在一起。 在这部小说中，Kirsty Gunn创作的故事犹如一件音乐作品，或者说，更像是一个梦，在梦的结尾，会有什么出现潜移默化地改变了整个故事。为数不多的小说可以像这样让读者感觉身临其境。(兼职翻译-XAT)
Awards/获奖情况：对于Kirsty Gunn的褒奖：
“这本小说迷人的，惊艳的地方在于看Kirsty Gunn是如何把所有的人和事通过一系列非凡的手法和并列的场景组合在一起，她让所有的细节都如此美丽独特，栩栩如生。”——《纽约时代书评》 “在书的前几章，语句中似乎只有一些小小的波澜，随意和重复的只言片语似乎并没能让我们一探究竟。然而在最后一节中却高潮迭起，我们才意识到她的文字是这般深深吸引着我们的神经。”
“Kirsty Gunn采用了海明威式的暗喻手法，将极具力量的女权主义比作大海，而且在某种程度上将这些转换成了不止是男性对女性的恐惧，还有深深的爱。”
“她的作品，很奇妙。悬疑的剧情被完美地设计与展现，我很享受阅读的整个过程”——John Carey
“Kirsty Gunn的《费瑟斯通》是一本寓言书，讲述着回家与离乡，黑暗与光明的故事。一个城市，一个世界，一个神话牵连着我们平凡的生活。《费瑟斯通》如同玻璃碎片般，深深地启迪了我们。”——Jayne Anne Phillips
