标题: 2002年--原子化 法语
2002 – Atomised
Author: Michel Houellebecq
Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
Winner of the 2002 Award
The Judges’ Citation
Michel Houellebecq’s darkly brilliant novel, Atomised, provides a bleak yet often humorous portrayal of modern life as viewed by the novel’s two protagonists – half-brothers with wildly different personalities seeking wildly different goals. The author’s addictively readable narrative of Michel – a saintly introvert devoted to scientific research and Bruno – an incorrigible sinner obsessed with sexual pursuits, is filled with energy, mordant humour and (throughout the book) wondrously passionate excess.

While following the separate but interlocked odysseys of the two brothers, Hoellebecq weaves discussions of history, biology, politics and, not least, sexuality as these affect his protagonists’ lives. For all the frustrations and failings of the brothers’ separate experiences, Atomised in the end presents a paradoxically (if at times perversely) moral view of these two anti-heroes, each alienated from surrounding society in his own way.

For these distinctive qualities, the judging panel of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award is pleased to present its year 2002 award to Michel Houellebecq for his extraordinary novel, Atomised, translated by Frank Wynne.

About the Book
Half-brothers Michel and Bruno have a mother in common but little else. Michel is a molecular biologist, a thinker and idealist, a man with no erotic life to speak of and little in the way of human society. Bruno, by contrast, is a libertine, though more in theory than in practice, his endless lust being all too rarely reciprocated. Both are symptomatic members of our atomised society, where religion has given way to shallow ‘new age’ philosophies and love to meaningless sexual connections. Atomised tells the stories of the two brothers, but the real subject of the novel is the dismantling of contemporary society and its assumptions, its political incorrectness, and its caustic and penetrating asides on everything from anthropology to the problem pages of girls’ magazines.

2002年--原子化
作者。Michel Houellebecq
法文翻译:弗兰克-怀恩
2002年获奖者
评委的评语
米歇尔-韦勒贝克的小说《原子化》黑暗而精彩,对小说中的两位主人公--性格迥异、追求迥异目标的同父异母兄弟--的现代生活进行了凄凉而又幽默的描述。作者对米歇尔--一个致力于科学研究的圣徒般的内向者和布鲁诺--一个痴迷于性追求的不可救药的罪人的叙述,充满了活力、嘲讽的幽默和(贯穿全书的)奇妙的激情,让人读起来很过瘾。

在关注这两兄弟独立但相互交织的旅程的同时,霍勒贝克也在讨论历史、生物学、政治,尤其是影响其主人公生活的性行为。对于兄弟俩各自经历的所有挫折和失败,《原子化》最终呈现了这两个反英雄的矛盾(如果有时是反常的)道德观,每个人都以自己的方式与周围社会疏远。

由于这些独特的品质,国际IMPAC都柏林文学奖的评审小组很高兴将2002年的奖项颁发给米歇尔-韦勒贝克,以表彰他由弗兰克-温恩翻译的非凡小说《原子化》。

关于该书
同父异母的兄弟米歇尔和布鲁诺有一个共同的母亲,但其他方面却不尽相同。米歇尔是一名分子生物学家,是一名思想家和理想主义者,没有任何情欲生活可言,对人类社会也没有什么兴趣。相比之下,布鲁诺是个放荡不羁的人,虽然理论上比实践上更多,他无休止的情欲很少得到回报。两人都是我们这个原子化社会的典型成员,宗教让位于浅薄的 "新时代 "哲学,爱情让位于无意义的性关系。雾化》讲述了这两兄弟的故事,但小说的真正主题是对当代社会及其假设、政治不正确的拆解,以及对从人类学到女孩杂志的问题页等一切事物的尖刻而深刻的讽刺。
