In the aftermath of the 1989 revolution I interviewed many of the great musicians and actors in Romania—and had precious little sympathy for the compromises they had had to make under the tyrant Ceausescu.I stand corrected if not abashed after reading Julian Barnes' haunting novel on the agonies of Shostakovich under Stalin and his successors.The Noise of Time (Jonathan Cape/Knopf) takes on the millennia-old tension between art and power.
在1989年革命的余波中，我在罗马尼亚采访了许多伟大的音乐家和演员，不过对他们在暴君齐奥塞斯库的统治下不得不妥协让步，却几乎没有感到什么同情。在读了朱利安·巴恩斯震撼人心的小说之后，我承认自己错了。这本小说讲述了在斯大林和他的继任者的统治下，肖斯塔科维奇的爆发。《时代的噪音》呈现了千年来艺术和权利之间的紧张博弈。
I recommended it to a friend who for years was one of the great reviewers at the Washington Post.His reply: “It's an extraordinary book.It's a book that makes me wish I were reviewing again.”
我把这本书推荐给一个朋友，他是这几年来《华盛顿邮报》最好的评论员。他回复我说：“这是一本非凡的著作，让人忍不住想要反复品读。”
