Tôi Và Paris - Câu Chuyện Một Dòng Sông Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Long

I prefer its alternative title: "The Confessions of Zeno." A fictional character named Zeno--rich, a hypochondriac and a solipsist--writes his autobiography, goaded on by a doctor doing psychoanalysis on him. He talks about his attempts to stop smoking, his father's death, his marriage, wife, mistress and his business partnership with his brother-in-law who later dies while attempting to stage his second fake suicide. Divided into six(6) main chapters, its starts strongly and had it been ended after the first two chapters ("Smoke" and "My Father's Death") I would have given it five stars without hesitation. The humor is purposedly dry (grim even), mocking and cynical. It is like P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves had become sardonic. Unfortunately, by the third chapter it starts to be a drag. Svevo running out of ammunition, with only some occasional flashes of brilliance here and there. Like in Chapter 3, "Wife and Mistress"-- "Actually a glance of one's own can be remembered as well as a word, perhaps even better. It is more important than a word because in all the dictionary there is no word that can undress a woman. I know now my glance then falsified the words I had conceived, simplifying them. To Ada's eyes, it had tried to penetrate her clothing and also her epidermis. And it had certainly meant: Would you like to come to bed with me at once?" Full of youthful mischief, this was published when Svevo was already sixty-two years old. His book before that, AS A MAN GROWS OLDER, was published when he was relatively young, at age 37. A very unique and likable novel despite its not-too-strong finish.
