編輯推薦

科爾姆·托賓的《布魯剋林》是一本剋製而簡樸的小說，沒有直率的激情或機巧的設計，小說充滿瞭生動真實的細節，隨著感情的漣漪和型塑生活的懷疑 演進，賦予瞭讀者一種嚴肅的愉悅。

內容簡介

Eilis Lacey is a young woman who is unable to find work in 1950s Ireland. Her older sister Rose organizes a meeting with Father Flood visiting from New York. He tells Eilis of the wonderful opportunities awaiting her with very good employment prospects. Because of this she emigrates to New York and takes up a job in a department store and undertakes night classes in book-keeping. Her initial experiences in a boring job and living in a repressive boarding house, run by the strict Madge Kehoe, make her have grave doubts about her decision. Letters from Rose and her brother are initially upsetting but soon she begins to settle into a routine. Eilis meets and falls in love with a young Italian plumber called Tony at the local Friday night dances organized by Father Flood. This leads to her first sexual encounter and some social consequences as they are overheard by Mrs Kehoe. She qualifies easily from her night school course. Her relationship evolves further and Tony proposes marriage and allows Eilis to meet his family. One day as she is working in Brooklyn she receives a visit from Father Flood informing her that Rose has died in her sleep from a pre-existing heart condition. She has to return to Ireland to mourn and marries Tony secretly before she leaves. In Ireland she falls back into the village society easily and starts a brief relationship with Jim Farrell, a local business man, to whom she had been attracted before emigrating. Her mother is desperate for her to settle back in Ireland and marry Jim. Eilis does not confide in her family or friends about her marriage. Eilis procrastinates about a return to her new life by extending her stay and finding a temporary job. She saves Tony's letters unopened thinking at times that she no longer loves him. Eventually a local busy body, Miss Kelly, tells Eilis she knows her secret because Madge Kehoe is her cousin and somehow the story is out in New York. This is the turning point for Eilis and she immediately books her return passage, tells her mother the whole truth and posts a farewell note to Jim as she leaves town by taxi for the docks.

1950年代，在愛爾蘭東南部的小鎮上是很難找到工作的。小說主人公Eilis當然也難以拒絕來自美國的工作要約，她前往布魯剋林開始瞭新生活。盡管她年輕、思鄉又孤獨，但她依舊很快融入瞭新生活的節奏中——白天在大型百貨公司收銀，晚上在布魯剋林 大學上夜校，周末晚上去牧區本堂跳舞，她逐漸找到瞭另一種幸福感。但壞消息傳來，召喚她迴愛爾蘭；於是她陷入瞭兩難：在彼岸的愛和幸福與故鄉的承諾間，該如何取捨。

當今的文學似乎也是這樣。當今文學被邊緣化，除瞭上麵我談的原因以外，文學本身也有瞭問題，我們現在的文學確實太精巧，也太華麗，就像清代的景泰藍一樣，而中外文學史上的那些經典作品，有些現在看起來顯得很簡單，有些可能顯得很粗糙，但它們裏麵有筋骨、有氣勢、有力量。文學最基本的東西是什麼？就是寫什麼和怎麼寫的問題。“寫什麼”，主要是關乎他的膽識和趣味，“怎麼寫”關乎他的聰明和技巧，這兩者都重要，而且是反復的，就像按水中的葫蘆一樣，按下這個，那個又上來，這陣子強調這個，過陣子又強調那個。在目前，當社會在追逐權力和金錢，在消費和娛樂，矛盾激化、問題成堆，如陳年蜘蛛網，動哪兒都往下掉灰塵，這個時候我們強調怎麼寫，但更應該強調寫什麼。
