THE MANET GIRL
Book ID/图书代码: 06684514B70318
English Summary/英文概要: The stories in The Manet Girl explore sexual relations – from both male and female points of view – in the present, but sometimes with a backdrop of several decades. Stories of desire and confusion – other men and other women – sit alongside stories of art – galleries, studios, allusions to painters – which gets in the way as least as often as it illuminates. Choices are made, in the knowledge that distractions may be the most important things of all.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《马奈女孩》的故事探索了性关系——从男性和女性的观点——在当下,但有时是在几十年的背景下。 欲望和混乱的故事——其他的男人和别的女人——与艺术有关的故事—— 画廊,工作室,典故画家——以至少它经常阐释的方式获得。做出选择,了解分心可能是所有事情中最重要的。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况:是很长一段时间内我所读到的最紧凑,最干净的写作…这是中篇小说中的一个小奇迹。非常有趣,聪明,阐释,善良并且永远不会过时。这不是自我放纵:事情发生了,令人惊讶的事情,就像一个老式的小说,但它是完全现代的;每一个字词都用的很微妙。(尼古拉斯•雷扎德)
巧妙的观察,聪明,简略和有趣。就像一本小说的最好时刻——减去填充。(杰夫•代尔,对《昼夜》的评论)
这远比巴尔德的巴克洛式的对地方的忧郁沉思更清爽和有趣。《昼夜》依据巴黎和柏林之间的沃尔特•本雅明的沉思,奇妙疯狂的迷你独白组成托马斯•伯恩哈德的语音效仿。没有什么别的,就是喜欢它的英文。(加布里埃尔,对《昼夜》的评论)
Some of the tightest, cleanest writing I have seen in a long time … This is a little marvel of a novella. It’s funny, clever, illuminating, deeply kind-hearted, and doesn’t outstay its welcome. It’s not self-indulgent: things happen in it, surprising things, like in an old-fashioned novel, yet it’s perfectly contemporary; and every word has been chosen with subtle care. (Nicholas Lezard on 24 for 3)
Ingeniously observed, clever, elliptical and funny. It’s like the best moments from a novel – minus the padding. (Geoff Dyer on Days and Nights in W12)
Much cooler and funnier than Sebald’s baroque and melancholy meditations on place, Days and Nights in W12 lies somewhere between Walter Benjamin’s musings on Paris and Berlin and the wonderfully crazy mini-monologues that make up Thomas Bernhard’s The Voice Imitator. There is nothing else like it in English. (Gabriel Josipovici on Days and Nights in W12)
