    乔凡尼的房间 | Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin

    我就是这样遇见乔凡尼的。我们见面的那一刻彼此就有感应。一直到现在还是,虽然到最後落得separation de corps,虽然乔凡尼不久就会在巴黎附近的一个深坑开始腐烂。一直到我死去为止,那些时刻都会存在,彷佛麦克白的女巫顷刻将由地底窜出,他的脸会出现在我面前,脸上记录著一切的变化,他的声音和说话的语气几乎要涨破我的耳朵,他的气味将充斥在我的鼻孔。在未来的某些时刻——如果上帝允许我活著经验那些时刻:在灰暗的早晨,嘴里满是酸味,眼睑乾涩而泛红,发丝因暴风雨般的睡眠潮湿打结,我面对著咖啡与香菸,昨夜那个无法穿透的、没有意义的男孩将如烟一般短暂浮现又消失,我将会再见到乔凡尼,如同那一夜,如此鲜明,如此令我臣服,那条昏暗的隧道里所有的光都会环绕在他的头上。一个年轻金发的美国作家1950年代後期由家乡纽约旅居巴黎,好寻找自己,却在男孩与女孩之间盤旋,在死心塌地的意大利酒保乔凡尼和未婚妻赫拉之间,他注定将永远失去,那悲剧,永远将如影随行乔凡尼房间的幽灵。

    《乔凡尼的房间》,美国黑人作家詹姆斯·鲍德温一九五六年出版的经典小说,打破当时禁忌,直抵内心最深底处,书名随後成了不少餐馆和某家书店的店名。「然後那扇门就在他的面前。他的四周都是黑暗,他的体内是沉默。然後那扇门打开,他独自站著,全世界都离他而去。天空的角落好像发出尖叫声,虽然他什麼都听不到。然後地表震动,他在黑暗中被向前抛出,他的旅程开始。?我终於离开镜子前面,开始遮覆我的赤裸,这份赤裸我必须神圣的对待,虽然它从未像现在一样污秽,我必须以我的一辈子当作盐来拭洗。我一定要相信,我一定要相信,上帝厚重的恩慈,让我来到这个地方,也会带我离开这里。文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2408.html

    Baldwin's haunting and controversial second novel is his most sustained treatment of sexuality, and a classic of gay literature. In a 1950s Paris swarming with expatriates and characterized by dangerous liaisons and hidden violence, an American finds himself unable to repress his impulses, despite his determination to live the conventional life he envisions for himself. After meeting and proposing to a young woman, he falls into a lengthy affair with an Italian bartender and is confounded and tortured by his sexual identity as he oscillates between the two.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2408.html

    Examining the mystery of love and passion in an intensely imagined narrative, Baldwin creates a moving and complex story of death and desire that is revelatory in its insight.文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2408.html
