He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem--ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young Housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him. And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes), the Professor's mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest of quantities--like the Housekeeper's shoe size--and the universe at large, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together, even as his memory slips away. "The Housekeeper and the Professor "is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.
作者简介小川洋子,1962年出生于�山市,毕业于早稻田大学第一文学系文艺科。1988年,以《毁减黄粉碟的时候》获得海燕新人文学奖。1991年,以《姓娠日历》获得第104届芥川奖。主要著作有《不冷的红茶》《温柔的诉求》《爱丽斯饭店》《沉默博物馆》《安娜・法兰克的记忆》《贵妇人A的重生》等。
她的笔锋冷敛,早期作品多以描述人性阴暗面和残酷见称,但三十岁之后,她的作品有了转变,尤其当她为《安妮日记》前往德国奥斯威辛集中营采访,感受到了“人类可以那么残酷,却同时也那么伟大”。写作风格也为之转变,“不再尖锐地刻画、暴露人类深藏的恶意,而是能够以一种‘人类是善共存体’的态度去看待他人”。并且开始撰写与记忆有关的主题。她的作品在欧洲响应极大,而本书已被喻为是作者的代表作。
