No one I know has read reminiscence, but no one will deny that it is a great work. Its slow pace and smooth writing make people feel quite comfortable. When I read it, I felt like I fell into a big soft sofa and was quickly wrapped in memories. But tahoe is too big to be seen. It seems that I will never finish reading it in my life. It's time. The time and space in the book are intertwined with the memories of the characters, one by one, and a little Madeleine snacks. The interior space of the novel is very grand. Faced with such a huge time and space, you will lose the courage to read. Who can always sit in a big soft sofa, especially in this noisy era outside? I have to brush Weibo and my circle of friends from time to time. After reading it for a long time, it has become an ancient thing. "Remembering the Past" is really a masterpiece that needs to be read quietly. I can only sigh. But when you close the book, you can feel that there is a greatness that is also imprisoned in the book and cannot be surpassed by time.

No wonder Proust has severe asthma. He has shut himself in his room 15 years. His daily activities are staring at the ceiling and empty walls, endlessly recalling the past and thinking about this work. How can you easily get in and out of the maze he built in fifteen years?

Later, I found a good way to read memory of time in the past. When you sit down and want to read a book for a while, just pick up a book and turn to any page. Slowly, his memory will remind you of it. When your own past surges, you will put the book down. At that time, you will find that your own memories are actually full of poetry.

Proust and James Joyce created the writing style of "stream of consciousness", which greatly broadened the space and possibility of novel creation. They and Kafka laid the foundation of modernist literature.

1922165438+1On October 8th, Proust died in Paris at the age of 5 1. Nobel Prize in Literature was not awarded the Swedish Academy Literature Prize, largely because he died too early. The Swedish Academy of Literature can't afford to wait for three books: Memories of Time Past, Female Prisoner (1923) and Female Escape.

5. Franz Kafka

"One morning, Gregory Samsha woke up from an uneasy sleep and found himself lying in bed and turned into a huge beetle."

I always think this is one of the best novel beginnings in the world. It calmly began a story that should have been shocking. Gligo was not very painful and shocked by his alienation, as if he had become a beetle for granted. He is the pillar of the family, with a bankrupt father and a sick mother, and a sister who loves him. What he is anxious about is getting up and going to work to make money. His family and colleagues were not surprised by his alienation, nor did they sympathize with how he became a beetle, but the fact that he became a beetle broke their expectations and the original life and work order. They quickly accepted his "alienation" and began to hate him, isolate him and coldly watch him die alone. They were relieved. Not only Gregory, but also his family and colleagues changed from human beings to non-human beings in this process. "Alienation" is the only theme in this world where everyone is for himself.

Kafka was born in Prague and lived in this city almost all his life. I don't know where this insurance company employee got the talent to be so keenly aware of and predict all the difficulties and disasters that mankind will face in the 20th century.

? -Bureaucracy is decadent and people are overstaffed. This is Kafka's absurdity (when the Great Wall of Wan Li was built, it was a castle).

? -There was a time when some * * * producing countries treated dissidents by beating you into XX faction first, and then asking you to honestly explain. This is Kafka's absurdity and absurdity (trial and judgment). Criminals are looking for crimes and evidence, and the ending is doomed to be sad.

? -Well-fed and well-fed, but the relationship between people is getting weaker and weaker (abnormal). People are always worried about the future, full of doubts about others, and generally lack trust and security. That's Kafka's anxiety and loneliness.

-Faith becomes an empty farce, and ideal becomes a terrible calculation, which is Kafka's sorrow (The Hungry Artist and Exile).

Throughout the 20th century until today, human society has been deeply branded with Kafka's style, and Kafka has become a fable writer.

Mankind is trapped in the quagmire of individualism, the more it struggles and collapses, the brighter the lights of the castle, but the farther people are from the castle. When you were in America, it seemed that you were still in the same place, but you were sentenced to exile. Kafka is lost in his novels, unable to see the direction, hope, endless and unable to extricate himself. His three novels, America, The Trial and The Castle, are all unfinished drafts, which may really be impossible to complete. Kafka is the founder of modernism and a grave digger, but the soil buried by the last shovel has not fallen.

No wonder the Swedish Academy Literature Prize was not awarded to this great writer. Kafka is a writer who has been "excavated". He was not famous before his death, and only published a few works. His three most important novels, America, The Trial and The Castle, were all published by his good friend Max Broder after his death against his will (Kafka asked to burn all his words in his will).

I like a photo on the internet very much. I don't know why, but I always feel close to Kafka, or very much like Kafka.

6. Rob Gray

Neo-fiction school is the largest literary school in French literature after existentialism, or rather, it is a literary phenomenon. A group of writers represented by Rob Gerye, Natalie Salo, Michel Butao, claude simon, Pange, mauriac, Becket and Duras broke away from French traditional literature openly and created a large number of writers as rebels. Their attempts were echoed by philosophers and linguists such as roland barthes, which caused a sensation in the world literary world for a while and had a great influence on later literary creation, including the development of China's avant-garde literature.

Among the writers of the New Fiction School, Rob Geyer should be the first in terms of the quantity and quality of his works, his influence on the world and the construction of the literary theory of the New Fiction School.

In Eraser, Ge Ye borrows the routine of detective stories, but tells a Kafka-style absurd story. The spy Varas was ordered to investigate a political murder in a small town in another province. The victim, Professor Dupont, didn't really die. He pretended to be dead and confused his opponent to save his life. Just like an old detective novel, the mediocre detective finally approached the truth step by step, and met Professor DuPont in the latter's study. They both mistook each other for killers and shot at each other. Detective Varas finally killed the victim by mistake, Professor Dupont.

Here, crime is not just looking for crime, but reinterpreting the process of crime, which finally makes a fictional crime become a reality and the victim dies. The outside world has its own logic, and the ending has been agreed in advance. When people try to change, the end will come soon. When the fictional world meets the real world, the reality is quickly deconstructed by the text.

If novel writing is a craft, Rob Geyer is undoubtedly a skillful craftsman. He has a unique vision and meticulous brushwork that makes other novelists ashamed. If a painter can paint an apple all day, then Geyer has the ability to paint a drop of water in 3000 words.

The zero-degree writing advocated by roland barthes is well reflected in Geye's Jealousy. From the perspective of husband A, the novel captures, analyzes and records some ambiguous and frivolous behaviors between his wife and a man, and guesses, infers and imagines a specious love affair. In the end, it is not clear whether this matter is true or pure fiction, and the novel comes to an abrupt end in this endless suspicion. This novel has no story or plot. What is shocking is A's indifferent indifference and coolness, observing calmly like a camera that has no humanity and will never appear. The words and deeds of the observed, including the emotions of the observer, have nothing to do with observation.

I don't know whether Geyer was influenced by Faulkner's As I Lay Dying when writing this work. The starting point is somewhat similar, but here, it is another day. At least there is a trace of nostalgia on my deathbed. But here, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me. The indifference between people, people's indifference to themselves, has reached the point where the extremes meet.

1985, Robert Geyer was omitted from the Swedish Academy Literature Award, and Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to another French novelist, claude simon, the author of Flanders Highway and Poems on Farming. The reason should be that Robert Geyer's fighting personality is too controversial and the slogan of overthrowing Balzac is too eye-catching.

It's not the first time that Swedish colleges in the literary world have done such "immoral" things. 1957, they abandoned Sartre, the master of existentialism literature, and awarded the Nobel Prize to Camus, the second master, so that when 1964 announced Sartre as the winner of this year's Nobel Prize, Sartre found a grandiose excuse of "rejecting all official honors" and refused to accept the Nobel Prize. I don't want it! Became the only person in the history of the Nobel Prize who refused the winner. Montalais, Kwazimodo and Weng Garetti are Italian hermit poets in the 20th century, and the troika is neck and neck. The Swedish Academy Literature Award awarded the Nobel Prizes of 1959 and 1975 to the top two, except for Weng Garetti. Damn it, am I a bad person? Weng Garetti will scold in his heart when he dies.

In the early morning of February 18, 2008, Robert Geyer died of a heart attack in Caen, a western French city, at the age of 85, and mankind bid farewell to the New Fiction School.
