白噪音

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！不可思議的偉大著作－－全書文句幾乎都已被美國文學著作、大眾媒體、學術界廣泛引用。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。《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The National Book Award-winning classic from the author of Underworld and Libra, now a major motion picture starring Adam Driver and Greta GerwigWhite Noise tells the story of Jack Gladney, his fourth wife, Babette, and four ultra­modern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event, " a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise " engulfing the Gladneys—radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings—pulsing with life, yet suggesting something ominous.For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
