アン・タイラー著・小川高義訳 『この道の先に、いつもの赤毛』 /Anne Tyler "Redhead by the side of the road"

コンピューターの便利���をしながら一人暮らす43歳のマイカという男性が主人公。主人公が自分と年代も性別も違う人物だからなのか、穏やかでゆったりとした文章のおかげなのか、静かな気持ちで読めた。マイカの日常は常にきっちりと決まったルーティンで作られている。しかし、自分を父親ではないかと疑う一人の大学生の青年によって「いつも通り」の日常に揺らぎが起こる。私はマイカよりもマイカの恋人キャスのほうが共感できた。マイカの恋人からすると、マイカは自分で思っているよりも神経質で融通が利かず、ちょっと冷たいところがある。マイカ自身はそうでもないと思っている…。物語を通して、驚くイベントはない。しかし、日々を生きる人々の間の少しのずれや行き違いが描かれていて、自分を省みようという気分にさせられた。また、マイカとかつての恋人との間で起こった寂しいすれ違いはリアルで、大切な人との向き合い方を思い直させてくれる。

The main character is Maika, who is a man of forty-three, lives alone while working as a computer handyman. He is different from me in age and sex and the text of this book is calm and loose, so I could read it without upsetting my mind. Maika's daily life is made by his neat routing. However, a man appears in front of him and he doubts Maika is his father. I felt empathy with Maika's lover Cass rather than Maika. From Cass's point of view, Maika is more nervous, inflexible and insensitive than he thinks. In this story, there is no surprising event. Tyler writes people's little discrepancy in their daily life. Especially, the cross-purposes between Maika and his ex-girl friend are real for me. I thought I should reconsider how to come face to face with my precious people.

The unsatisfying thing about practicing restraint was that nobody knew you were practicing it.

I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you’re with them.

Anne Tyler, The Accidental Tourist

[quotespile]

She had felt that way during her own childhood; she’d felt like a watchful, wary adult housed in a little girl’s body. And yet nowadays, paradoxically, it often seemed to her that from behind her adult face a child about eleven years old was still gazing out at the world.

Anne Tyler, Clock Dance
