……故事。- 《Good Omens》:Gaiman 和 Pratchett 联手,怎能不爱?- 《Moby Dick》:于是人人都挨了一顿生活的闷棍,大家理应互相揉揉肩膀,知足常乐。- 《Lucky Jim》:研究生院生存指南。到“啦-啦-啦”合唱时记得跟上啊,好伙计。这还没算上诗歌,那些也整天在我脑子里转。
…story. - Good Omens: Gaiman and Pratchett team up, what’s not to love? - Moby Dick: And so the universal thump is passed round, and all hands should rub each other’s shoulder-blades, and be content. - Lucky Jim: grad school, a survival guide. Come in on the fa la la las, there’s a good chap. This doesn’t include poetry, which is also in my head constantly.
Kingsley Amis 的《Lucky Jim》应该作为研究生的必读书。这位作者的经历听起来非常熟悉,只是少了喜剧式的复仇大结局。
"Lucky Jim" by Kingsley Amis should be essential reading for grad students. This author's story sounds pretty familiar, but without the comedic revenge denouement.
Kingsley Amis 的《Lucky Jim》是我读过的唯一一本真正让我笑出声来的书。别人跟我说《Catch-22》也是这种风格,但我还没读过。
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis is the only book I've ever read that actually made me laugh out loud. I'm told Catch 22 is like that, but I haven't read it.
你可能已经知道了,但对其他人提一句,《Lucky Jim》是他父亲 Kingsley Amis 写的,在当年也是位很受欢迎的作家。读读 Martin 写他和他父亲关系的传记挺有意思的。
You probably know this but for others, Lucky Jim was written by his father Kingsley Amis, who was also a popular author in his time. Reading Martin’s memoir about his relationship with his dad is pretty good.
这类作品中,我也衷心推荐 Kingsley Amis 1954 年的《Lucky Jim》,可以说是它开创了“校园小说(campus novel)”这一流派。
In this vein of work, I also heartily recommend Kingsley Amis' "Lucky Jim" (1954), which arguably began the "campus novel" genre.
……Poverty, and War》当厕所读物,虽然具体哪一部分我记不清了,但我正是通过他们的友谊接触到了 Martin 父亲的作品。有一年夏天,我那本《Lucky Jim》在车后窗被晒得脱胶散架了,我至今还记得放学后去印第安土丘读书时一路追着捡书页的情景。我得把《Time's Arrow》再重读一遍了。
…Poverty, and War" as a bathroom reader, and although I don't recall the specific section, it was through their friendship that I was introduced to Martin's father's works. The glue binding my copy of Lucky Jim dissolved in the back windshield of my car one summer, and I remember chasing the pages at the Indian mounds where I'd go after school to read. I'll have to give Time's Arrow another read.
