【評論】納博考夫的「世紀鉅著」

0
推薦

1999年,英國《每日電訊》(Daily Telegraph)集選「世紀鉅著一百部」(100 Books of the Century),由百名學者作家各舉一本。獲選的著作,包括了維根斯坦的邏輯、凱因斯的經濟理論、羅素的哲學,乃至希特勒那煽起浩劫一場的自傳。在從印度到冰島的各國作家之中,納博考夫竟有三本登榜(《Lolita》、《Pale Fire》、與自傳《Speak, Memory》),使他在獲選次數上,與《一九八四》的作者歐威爾同列魁首,而壓倒了勞倫斯、喬艾斯、海明威、費茨傑羅諸大家(包括史坦貝克在內的許多諾貝爾文學獎得主尚且不在榜上)。

同年,美國「藍燈書屋」(Random House)「現代文庫」(Modern Library)編輯委員會選出的「二十世紀最佳英語小說一百部」(The 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century),納博考夫也有兩本上榜(《Lolita》名列第四,《Pale Fire》名列五十三)。難免有人懷疑,他精密炫麗深邃機巧的文筆經不經得起時間考驗,在品味必然迥異的一百年後是否還有人記得。好在對我而言,這只是個多餘的問題。
