英文简介:
An “extraordinary, ambitious” (The Times UK) novel that masterfully explores what constitutes a meaningful life in a violent world–from the award-winning author of Open City New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice * “Cole’s mind is so agile that it’s easy to follow him anywhere.
“–The New Yorker A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Life is hopeless but it is not serious.
We have to have danced while we could and, later, to have danced again in the telling.
A weekend spent antiquing is shadowed by the colonial atrocities that occurred on that land.
A walk at dusk is interrupted by casual racism.
A loving marriage is riven by mysterious tensions.
And a remarkable cascade of voices speaks out from a pulsing metropolis.
We’re invited to experience these events and others through the eyes and ears of Tunde, a West African man working as a teacher of photography on a renowned New England campus.
He is a reader, a listener, a traveler, drawn to many different kinds of stories: stories from history and epic; stories of friends, family, and strangers; stories found in books and films.
Together these stories make up his days.
In aggregate these days comprise a life.
Tremor is a startling work of realism and invention that engages brilliantly with literature, music, race, and history as it examines the passage of time and how we mark it.
It is a reckoning with human survival amidst “history’s own brutality, which refuses symmetries and seldom consoles,” but it is also a testament to the possibility of joy.
As he did in his magnificent debut Open City, Teju Cole once again offers narration with all its senses alert, a surprising and deeply essential work from a beacon of contemporary literature.
中文简介:
一本“非凡、雄心勃勃”（英国《泰晤士报》）的小说，巧妙地探讨了暴力世界中有意义的生活的构成——出自《开放城市》获奖作家之手，《纽约时报书评编辑精选》*“科尔的思维如此敏捷”——《纽约客》出版商周刊年度最佳图书 生活是无望的，但并不严肃。
我们必须尽可能地跳舞，然后在讲述中再次跳舞。
在古董店度过的周末被那片土地上发生的殖民暴行所笼罩。
黄昏时的散步被偶然的种族主义打断。
一段充满爱的婚姻因神秘的紧张关系而破裂。
这座充满活力的大都市里传出一连串非凡的声音。
我们受邀通过 Tunde 的眼睛和耳朵体验这些活动和其他活动，Tunde 是一位西非男子，在著名的新英格兰校园担任摄影老师。
他是一名读者、倾听者、旅行者，被许多不同类型的故事所吸引：历史故事和史诗故事；朋友、家人和陌生人的故事；书籍和电影中的故事。
这些故事共同构成了他的日子。
这些日子加在一起就构成了一生。
《颤栗》是一部令人惊叹的现实主义和发明作品，它与文学、音乐、种族和历史进行了精彩的结合，审视了时间的流逝以及我们如何标记它。
这是对人类在“历史本身的残酷性中生存的清算，历史本身拒绝对称且很少安慰”，但它也证明了快乐的可能性。
正如他在其宏伟的处女作《开放城市》中所做的那样，特朱·科尔再次以所有感官的警觉进行叙述，这是一部来自当代文学灯塔的令人惊讶且深刻的重要作品。
