各界推薦

各界推薦 評論摘錄「這本書讓我完全驚喜，是我今年讀過最獨特的作品之一。引人入勝、動人心弦、全然原創。我非常喜愛它。」——《一天》（One Day）作者 大衛・尼科爾斯（David Nicholls）「一部非虛構作品……卻具備偉大小說的情感厚度與複雜性……《問題七》為回憶錄體裁立下了標竿。」——《星期日泰晤士報》「令人無法抗拒……弗拉納根最擅長的是，在宏大的敘事中找出深刻的人性……他的關注充滿溫柔，卻從不犧牲觀察的銳利度。」——克里斯・鮑爾（Chris Power），《紐約時報書評》「《問題七》是我讀過最偉大的關於父母與土地的回憶錄——而這還未觸及它的原創性。它展現強烈的道德與情感紀律、慈悲的力量，以及語言的優雅與美麗。我常常讀了一頁、甚至只是一段，就得放下書，茫然思索每一個詞與觀念才能繼續。既令人心碎又美麗，充滿憤怒與溫柔：這是他最具分量的著作。」——《雷霆》（Thunderclap）作者 蘿拉・康明（Laura Cumming）「我們以為人生是自己做出的選擇，但這本書中爆發出來的是——當毀滅性力量席捲而來時，我們最強烈、最有力的回應就是投降於愛。」——《哀傷之道》（Grief Works）作者 茱莉亞・山繆（Julia Samuel）「在弗拉納根這本美麗、無法分類的小說式回憶錄中，有太多太多……這是一部傑作，毫無疑問。」——《觀察家報》「《問題七》帶著驚人的能量與極致的節制與關懷寫成。這是一場清算：弗拉納根與父母的過去，塔斯馬尼亞與其歷史，日本與其歷史，以及作者與他自身。這本書會對讀者產生強烈的衝擊——對我就是如此。」——《布魯克林》作者 柯姆・托賓（Colm Tóibín）「出色……弗拉納根始終是極好的閱讀夥伴。」——《每日郵報》「《問題七》是理查・弗拉納根獻給父母的深情戀歌，一場解剖式挖掘，一首挽歌，一段懺悔，一個拼圖——其中廣島連結到H.G.威爾斯，而火星人殖民塔斯馬尼亞。我們都想要競爭優勝，但我還是要說：這也許是過去一百年來最重要的澳洲藝術作品。」——《凱利幫真實歷史》（True History of the Kelly Gang）作者 彼得・凱瑞（Peter Carey）「弗拉納根對他沉靜而勇敢的父親、充滿愛與韌性的母親描寫得極為精緻。他對塔斯馬尼亞鄉村生活質地的重現亦是巧奪天工……他始終是極佳的閱讀夥伴。」——《每日電訊報》（四星評論）「一本深具個人性的書，我讀得如癡如醉。」——柯姆・托賓，《衛報》2024夏季推薦書單「《問題七》是一本讓人忍不住畫線與引用的書。一場高遠的哲學探問，同時深度個人化，書中關於暴行、遺產、自然與殖民經驗的段落令人難以忘懷、道德穿透力強。他描寫1980年代牛津的部分應列為A-Level（高階程度）必讀。我覺得這本書傑出無比。」——《鷦鷯，鷦鷯》（The Wren, The Wren）作者 安・恩萊特（Anne Enright）「一本以拒絕被定義為傲的書……《問題七》提醒我們，理查・弗拉納根是多麼了不起的一位作家。」——《金融時報》「《問題七》是一本精彩至極的書。」——《英倫田園》（English Pastoral）作者 詹姆斯・里班克斯（James Rebanks）「我被這部奇異又非凡的作品迷住、困擾又著迷：它既是回憶錄，也是寫給塔斯馬尼亞這片土地與人們的情書，也是一場對因果本質的哲學探問……我想不出有任何其他作品像它一樣。」——《啟蒙》（Enlightenment）作者 莎拉・派瑞（Sarah Perry）Review'This book took me completely by surprise and is unlike anything I’ve read this year. Gripping, affecting, wholly original. I absolutely loved it' ― David Nicholls, author of One DayA work of non-fiction…but it has all the complexity of emotional heft of a great novel… Question 7 sets the high-water mark for what the genre [of memoir] can be ― Sunday Times'Irresistible. . . . What Flanagan achieves so well is locating what is intimately human within his grand sweep. . . . The attention he pays is tender without ever sacrificing the sharpness of his gaze' ― Chris Power, New York Times Book Review‘Question 7 is the greatest memoir of parents and place I have read - and this is hardly to touch on its originality. I was amazed by its intense moral and emotional rigour, its power of compassion, the strength and beauty of the prose. I would take it up, read a page, sometimes just a paragraph, and find I had to set it down, dazed, to think about every word and idea before I could even begin to go on. Devastating and beautiful, mighty in its rage and tenderness: his most momentous book yet’ ― Laura Cumming, author of Thunderclap'We believe we make choices in our lives, yet what explodes in these pages is the way in which the fiercest and strongest response we can make to the forces that threaten to destroy us is to surrender to love' ― Julia Samuel, author of Grief WorksThere’s so much…in Flanagan’s beautiful, unclassifiable novel-cum-memoir… That it is a masterpiece is without question ― Observer'Question 7 is written with a spectacular mixture of fierce energy and then control, care. It is a kind of reckoning, Richard Flanagan with his father and his mother, Tasmania with its past, Japan with its past, the author with himself. It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers. It certainly did on me' ― Colm Tóibín, author of BrooklynExcellent…Flanagan is unfailingly good company ― Daily Mail'Richard Flanagan’s Question 7 is a profoundly moving love song for the writer’s parents, a forensic excavation, a lament, a confession, a jig-saw puzzle in which Hiroshima connects to HG Wells, and the Martians colonise Tasmania. We are all competitive, of course, so this is not an easy thing to say: but Question 7 may just be the most significant work of Australian art in the last 100 years' ― Peter Carey, author of True History of The Kelly GangFlanagan’s portrayal of his quiet, brave father and his loving, resilient mother is exquisite. His evocation of the texture of life in rural Tas­mania is masterful… Flanagan is unfailingly good company ― Daily Telegraph, 4* reviewA deeply personal book that I found mesmerising -- Colm Tóibín ― Guardian, *Summer Reads of 2024*'Richard Flanagan's Question 7 is a book itching to be quoted and underlined. A high-reaching philosophical enquiry that is also fully personal, it contains indelible, morally piercing moments about atrocity, inheritance, nature and the colonial experience. His section on Oxford in the 80s should be required reading at A level. I thought it was outstanding' ― Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The WrenA book that rejoices, and succeeds, in resisting definition… [Question 7 is] a reminder of just what a remarkable writer Richard Flanagan can be ― Financial Times'Question 7 is a brilliant, brilliant book' ― James Rebanks, author of English Pastoral‘I was fascinated, troubled and enchanted by this strange and extraordinary work: part memoir, part love-letter to the place and people of Tasmania, and part philosophical inquiry into the nature of cause and effect... I can think of nothing else quite like it’ ― Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment
