2006 – The Master
Author: Colm Tóibín

The Judges’ Citation
Colm Tóibín captures the exquisite anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and palazzos of Europe, who was astonishingly alive and vibrant in his art, and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably failed him and those he tried to love. It is a powerful account of the hazards of putting the life of the mind before affairs of the heart.

This probing portrayal of Henry James is not merely an outstanding narrative. In crisp, modulated writing, it subtly balances a range of devices that leave the reader in no doubt about the accomplishment of this work. For its deftly excavated psychology of the Jamesian childhood and youth, for its quiet revelations of the artist’s journey and the emotional and material necessities accompanying this, for the melancholic undertone which surfaces through the probing landscape of this writer’s life, The Master is, and will continue to be, a work of novelistic art: its preoccupations are truth and the elusiveness of intimacy, and from such preoccupations emerge this patient, beautiful, exposure of loss, and the price of the pursuit of perfection.

Judges: Jane Koustas, Mary O’Donnell, Andrew O’Hagan, Paolo Rufilli. Non- voting Chair, Judge Eugene R. Sullivan

2006年--大师

评委的评价
科尔姆-托宾捕捉到了一个人精致的痛苦，他在欧洲的大客厅和宫殿里流连忘返，在他的艺术中表现出惊人的活力和生命力，但他对亲密关系的尝试不可避免地使他和他试图爱的人失望。这本书有力地说明了将思想生活置于心灵事务之前的危险性。

对亨利-詹姆斯的这种探究性描写不仅仅是一种出色的叙述。它以明快而有节制的文字，巧妙地平衡了一系列的手段，使读者对这部作品的成就毫不怀疑。由于它巧妙地挖掘了詹姆斯童年和青年时期的心理，由于它对艺术家的旅程以及与之相伴的情感和物质需求的平静揭示，由于通过对这位作家生活的探究而浮现出的忧郁色彩，《大师》是，并将继续是一部小说艺术作品：它所关注的是真理和亲密关系的难以捉摸性，从这种关注中产生了这种对损失和追求完美的代价的耐心、美丽的揭露。
