それにしても、フィッツジェラルドの文章のよさはおいらにはまだわからない。カポーティも
そうだ。
村上春樹はこの2人の文章を絶賛していたけれど。
ヘミングウェイなんかはその文体の特徴がはっきりしていて、見間違えようがない。
小説全体を読んでいなくても、例えば、>>72で挙げた『武器よさらば』の冒頭の文章
だけを読んでも、その文体の清新さは感じ取れるし、革新性は明らかだ。
しかし、フィッツジェラルドやカポーティの文章はもっと落ち着いた、なにげないもの
なので、その玄妙な優雅さ？をしかと感じ取るのは難しい。
自分にそれがわかる日は来るのだろうか (´-ω-｀)

124 ：名無しさん＠英語勉強中 (ﾜｯﾁｮｲ 671d-dgJH)[sage]：2017/05/22(月) 21:54:09.18 ID:kt1Arg1U0 - ところで、>>114で『銀河ヒッチハイクガイド』が紹介されているので、その冒頭の文章を
ここで紹介しておきたい。
おいらにとっては、>>72で引用した『武器よさらば』に肩をならべる、もっとも印象的な
小説の出だしの文章だから（笑）
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral
Arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant
little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive
that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living
on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for
this problem but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small
green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green
pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were
miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming
down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been
a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to
a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting
on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had
been going wrong all this time. and she finally knew how the world could be made a
good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to
get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible, stupid
catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost for ever.
