內容簡介

內容簡介 諾貝爾文學獎呼聲最高、美國當今最偉大的作家--唐.德里羅體現人類生存恐懼不朽巨作!在那個荒謬的夜晚來臨前,我從不覺得惡夢如此真實,死神的利刃如此冰冷接近……「我們誰會先死?」這是我和妻子最常討論的問題。雖然我已經結了五次婚(有兩任還是同一個女人),但我和妻子的感情十分融洽,各自生的四個孩子們也都還小(因而家庭日總是十分尷尬),死亡的距離仍然遙遠。不過,我和妻子都希望自己能比對方早死,不想成為被獨自留下痛苦的那個人。只是在深夜,我時常滿身大汗地驚醒,看見時鐘的數字總是奇數,心中就會湧起莫名的恐懼,對那些我所未知的經驗、感覺,或無意識主宰人類的力量。它們能用一個名詞概括表達嗎?例如「死亡」?我以為樂觀的妻子會比我堅強(因為她說過想先死),但沒想到的是,她竟然會以我意想不到的方式,來對抗她所謂的「恐懼」……《白噪音》是唐.德里羅奠定文壇地位的重要之作,從1985年出版至今,始終被視為呼應現代人處境最經典的文學作品。它描繪出這個世代的人受到媒體、污染等各種有形無形的壓迫,甚至死亡恐懼的威脅,以至於做出荒腔走調的行為。然而,它的故事卻相當平易近人,獨特喜感的對話與極富意涵的文字更是擄獲了數個世代的讀者。研究者鑽研它,青年學子閱讀它,創作者受其影響、啟發,廣大讀者更藉由它的字字句句來抒解心靈的困頓。「攻擊了我們這個一板一眼年代的扭曲和混亂的聲音。」--英國文壇教父/馬丁.艾米斯《白噪音》更是在這個迷亂的世界中,我們需要憑藉走下去的一部不朽巨著。本中文書介出自《白噪音》寶瓶文化事業股份有限公司出版CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKSHow strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn’t they paralyze us?Jack Gladney is the creator and chairman of Hitler studies at the College-on-the-Hill. This is the story of his absurd life; a life that is going well enough, until a chemical spill from a rail car releases an ‘Airborne Toxic Event’ and Jack is forced to confront his biggest fear – his own mortality.White Noise is an effortless combination of social satire and metaphysical dilemma in which Don DeLillo exposes our rampant consumerism, media saturation and novelty intellectualism. It captures the particular strangeness of life lived when the fear of death cannot be denied, repressed or obscured and ponders the role of the family in a time when the very meaning of our existence is under threat.‘America’s greatest living writer.’ – ObserverPart of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature."
