“太阳总有办法照到我们,不管我们在哪里。”

“你相信有‘人心’这回事吗?
我不仅仅是指那个器官,当然喽。
我说的是这个词的文学意义。
人心。你相信有这样东西吗?
某种让我们每个人成为独特个体的东西?”

《远山淡影》是石黑一雄技惊文坛的处女作,一部问世30年仍在不断重印的名著。其“感伤与反讽”的融合、平衡令人犹记。这是一段迷雾重重、亦真亦幻的回忆。战后长崎,一对饱受磨难的母女渴望安定与新生,却始终走不出战乱的阴影与心魔。剧终,忆者剥去伪装,悲情满篇。

《长日将尽》是诺奖得主石黑一雄1989年获布克奖的作品,也是石黑一雄最重要的代表作。小说以管家史蒂文斯的回忆展开,讲述了自己为达林顿勋爵服务的三十余年时光里的种种经历;虽然达到了职业巅峰,但史蒂文斯过于冷酷地压抑自我情感,追求完美履行职责,而在父亲临终前错过最后一面,之后又与爱情擦肩而过。小说通过主人公的回忆,将一个人的生命旅程在读者眼前抽丝剥茧,同时也折射出一战与二战之间那段非常时期的国际政治格局。

Never Let Me Go 豆瓣
8.0 (13 个评分) 作者: Kazuo Ishiguro Vintage Books 2010 - 8
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
