The Emotions by Jean-Philippe Toussaint — the folly of futurology
一部关于爱与失序的情感编年史
The Belgian’s latest novel, set against a backdrop of recent events in Europe, ponders philosophical questions such as, Do we really want to know what is in store for us?
小说以2016年英国脱欧为背景,通过一位未来学家的视角,审视预测未来的徒劳与个人情感的持久力量。在非线性的叙事中,政治动荡与私人记忆交织,探讨了在一个理性失序的时代,情感如何成为更真实的坐标。
