Mothering Sunday
ずっと気になっていた本を読みました。
グラハム・スウィフトの「マザリング・サンデー」。
本屋さんで見かけてから気になっていて、ずっと読みたいなと思っていたのですが、とうとう図書館で借りて来ました。
階級社会の英国ならでは、ですね。
マザリング・サンデーは、メイドが3月の最終日曜日にお休みを取れるというもの。
主人公のジェーンは、帰るお家がないので、他のメイドとは異なり、本を読む自由を主人から得ます。
しかし本当は、隣家に住む、貴族階級のお嬢様と婚約中のお坊ちゃんと過ごします。
小説家になった現在のインタビューと、当時のことが交互に触れられていて、鮮明な現在と、セピア色の過去が映画のようにみずみずしく語られているように思いました。
こういう「乗り越えられない階級」って、ドラマでも漫画でもよく使われると思います。そして結局はそれを乗り越えていく、というような。。
でも、これを読むと、階級差って絶対的で、これは越えられないだろうなと思います。
読んでいて思うのですが、差別とかそういう意識じゃないんですよね。もう絶対的な差異が両者間にあって、誰も乗り越えられない、という感覚。そういう社会だったんだなと思います。
現代の日本では階級といった明確な差はないですが、それゆえか、なんとか突出しよう、なんとか差をつけようを力んでいるような気がします。
それがいい形で出ると、努力をして技術を身につけたり、能力を発揮したりとするのですが、そうでないとなんとか相手の欠点を見つけて引きずり下ろそうとします。
どっちかというと、後者の方が多い気もします。その方が自分が頑張らなくていいから楽ですもんね。
話はずれましたが…
個人的に、すごく好きなタイプの本でした。
全体にまとう諦観と、鮮明な春の日差しに包まれているような感じ。
筆者のスウィフト氏はブッカー賞受賞ということですが、頷けますね。
長編もいくつか出しているようなので、そちらも読んでみたいと思います。
Just started this for my Contemporary English Lit class and I'm not sure how I feel about it? I think a lot of why I'm struggling is that it's very distinctly British and I'm not up on the slang! Anyone else read this book or have any tips on modern British slang? #grahamswift #lastorders #literature #bookworm #booktag #bookgram #englishmajor #englishlit

#lecture, je viens de finir ce livre, superbe roman touchant, sensuel, intelligent. #grahamswift #Gallimard.
This book is a prime example of why you should never judge one by its cover! I honestly thought that this was going to be a boring read- how wrong I was! It's probably one of the most interesting novels I've read and I really found it hard to put it down! I highly recommend it! 📚 #grahamswift #swift #waterland #waterlandnovel #picador #novel #book #english #englishstudent #journalismandenglish #salforduni #salford
A very happy publication day to Graham Swift and David Gates!
England and Other Stories by Graham Swift
From the Booker Prize–winning author of Last Orders and Wish You Were Here, his first new book of short fiction in nearly thirty years: beautifully crafted, piercingly observant stories that unite into a richly peopled vision of a country that is both a crucible of history and a maze of contemporary confusions.
A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me: Stories and A Novella by David Gates
These eleven stories, along with a masterful novella, mark the triumphant return of David Gates, whom New York magazine anointed “a true heir to both Raymond Carver and John Cheever.”
