“A stranger could drive through Miguel Street and just say ‘Slum!’ because he could see no more.” But to its residents this derelict corner of Trinidad’s capital is a complete world, where everybody is quite different from everybody else. There’s Popo the carpenter, who neglects his livelihood to build “the thing without a name.” There’s Man-man, who goes from running for public office to staging his own crucifixion, and the dreaded Big Foot, the bully with glass tear ducts. There’s the lovely Mrs. Hereira, in thrall to her monstrous husband. In this tender, funny early novel, V. S. Naipaul renders their lives (and the legends their neighbors construct around them) with Dickensian verve and Chekhovian compassion.
Set during World War II and narrated by an unnamed–but precociously observant–neighborhood boy, Miguel Street is a work of mercurial mood shifts, by turns sweetly melancholy and anarchically funny. It overflows with life on every page.

No idea why this book is highly rated in Douban, but I can't have sympathy with any of the character in the book.
评分叙事模式很容易让人联想起Winesburg, Ohio,但更圆融与素朴。通过奈保尔之眼,读Miguel Street 上的人们的生活,总有点“眷恋凄怆”的意思。
评分An unexpectedly delightful read. It's exotic but also universal. These people, u have so many reasons not to like them, they even constantly degrade themselves, yet u would think there's so much in common, and u start to feel for them before u even realize it. It seems that these people are pitiable, somehow, u just can't leave them behind. Amazing
评分Trinidad-Port of Spain-The Miguel Street-V.S.Naipaul.
评分故事质量构成一条缓慢下降的弧线。当叙述者决定离开之时,童话般的光彩也从他眼中的人物身上消失了。
午夜過后,人們總能聽到兩次噪聲。大約兩點鐘左右,可以聽到清潔工打掃的聲音;然后,天剛剛亮,垃圾車就來了,并且聽到人們往車上倒垃圾的聲音。 街上沒有一個男孩愿意長大了以后做清潔工。如果你隨便問起一個男孩他們長大了以后想做什么,他們一定回答說:“我長大了想當一名...
评分《米格尔街》是奈保尔早期的书,它更质朴,但绝不欠缺深度。简单的语言,令人笑了哭、哭了笑。 我读这本书特别有感觉。 我并未在米格尔街上生活过,但我在十五岁之前,除了偶尔去市里以及去过一次北京之外,只待过一个小镇,那是一个江边小镇。我的很多亲戚同学至今仍然生活在...
评分12月14号之前我只知道奈保尔两件事:他获得了本年度诺贝尔文学奖;他做过嫖客。两个消息都是从网上得到的。 第一个消息的报道最后说,这个人的书马上会有中译本,出现在各个书店的书架上。我不知道是不是要跟风买一本两本,诺贝尔文学奖获得者我知道的不多,读过的更...
评分(摘录存档) 在南京大学的小说课 毕飞宇 一 一个诗人,沃滋沃斯,他穷困潦倒,以讨乞为生,一直梦想着完成他最伟大的诗篇,而最终,他孤独地死去了。——这就是《布莱克·沃滋沃斯》,是《米格尔大街》的第六篇。 比较下来,在小说里头描写诗人要困难一些。为什么?因为小说...
评分“你真是好胃口”,朋友说。“好胃口的是奈保尔。”我纠正道, “几乎所有读过他的书的人,都被他收服,大小通吃。”此前,数年未谋面的朋友在MSN 露脸,他要跟我聊聊《米格尔街》,我没有去问他为何这么肯定我读过这册短篇集子,似乎他就是在书店递给我一摞书的那位男店员,亲...
