Phớt Lờ Tất Cả & Bơ Đi Mà Sống (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hugh Macleod

A quick read. Hemingway satirizes Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, etc. It all goes down in Northern Michigan. I read Torrents after reading The 42nd Parallel by Dos Passos, from which Hemingway borrows the grandiose mood and super-earnest young Americans. Hemingway sits these strapping fellows down in podunk bars and has them muse about the fairy-traceries of frost on the windows and the beauty of Paris. One of them acquires a pet sparrow and marries an elderly English waitress in Petoskey. Riffing on the British Lake District follows. There are silly author's notes interspersed within the text, including one describing a gourmet French meal Hemingway enjoyed with (who else but) John Dos Passos. The notes ramble on and on. At one point Hemingway claims that he translated the New Testament into Ojibwa. The absurdity of Torrents makes it an entertaining read, but a lot of its humor will be lost on people who aren't into the Lost Generation. It would probably be REALLY funny to someone who has read more widely in the early 20th century milieu. Moving forward, someone should write a book like Torrents using Bret Easton Ellis / Chuck Palahniuk / Dave Eggers / Jonathan Safran Foer as canon fodder. Something about a body-building Wall Street bond trader with a vast reservoir of survivor guilt, who falls in with a bunch of nihilistic organ donors and gives up his pancreas while still alive. It would need Foer-style visual aids to drive home the literary gaggery. Like an up-close picture of the Islets of Langerhans, followed by a really gross description of insulin production. Yeahhhhhh....
