文学或者音乐

by Yu Hua, 余华

余华将这部《文学或者音乐》称作他的个人阅读之书，和声之书。所收录的28篇文章，记录了余华三十年的个人阅听史，他对经典巨作的一次次沉潜，一遍遍重读与回响，都被浓缩在330页的字里行间。在这里，他以“写小说者”的敏锐和同感力，反复叩问，引领我们走近博尔赫斯、福克纳、卡夫卡 、契诃夫、马尔克斯、肖斯塔科维奇、柴可夫斯基等巨匠大师，条分缕析他们的叙事技巧，抵达他们创作中的秘密所在，而这些经典作品也正是在不懈的阅读和解读中，焕发出历久弥新的生命力。无论共鸣也好，反驳也好，这些缤纷时刻的来临，都激荡出阅读和原典之间的应力。打开书，一趟文学与音乐经典的启蒙之旅由此启程。

About the author

Yu Hua (simplified Chinese: 余华; traditional Chinese: 余華; pinyin: Yú Huá) is a Chinese author, born April 3, 1960 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. He practiced dentistry for five years and later turned to fiction writing in 1983 because he didn't like "looking into people’s mouths the whole day." Writing allowed him to be more creative and flexible.[citation needed] He grew up during the Cultural Revolution and many of his stories and novels are marked by this experience. One of the distinctive characteristics of his work is his penchant for detailed descriptions of brutal violence.

Yu Hua has written four novels, six collections of stories, and three collections of essays. His most important novels are Chronicle of a Blood Merchant and To Live. The latter novel was adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. Because the film was banned in China, it instantly made the novel a bestseller and Yu Hua a worldwide celebrity. His novels have been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Persian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Serbian, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam and Turkish.

[吕不理 · Rating 4 out of 5]

如题目所言 这本文集是他作为作家对其他作家及其作品的精读和他作为音乐发烧友对音乐作品知人论曲。

先说喜欢的点。余华自己就是很好的作家 感受力直觉自然是十分强大 比如茨威格是小号的陀思妥耶夫斯基真的会心一击 写文学中的动人相遇让人感慨文字触达人心的顿悟时分果然妙不可言 他说卡夫卡冰冷锐利以及他作为自己一生的异乡人这一点也曾出现在我写过的书评里。再说关于音乐的论述 我们都认为音乐是世界的语言 它的体验虽然更神秘但感受确实更直接 它丰厚 馥郁 不存在所谓边界 是人类能拥有的最美妙的体验。对勃拉姆斯的感受尤其一致：激情在温柔里 痛苦在宁静中。这些感同身受的细节读得我欣喜异常。

但不太喜欢的点在于 关于文学 余华宛如高中语文阅读理解式的写法也太接地气了吧……不过一个作家的看法确实处处从叙事方式方法上出发 也没错儿 但真的 此人高考语文一定能满分。关于音乐 有些过于知人论事了 不如去搞精神分析 不过不搞乐理也指望不了啥 音乐从心流淌 他尽情感受已经极好了。
