درباره کتاب رمان انگلیسی Purity نوشته جاناتان فرانزن :

پیپ تایلر جوان نمی داند که او کیست . او فقط می داند که نام واقعی او پیوریتی است. او با ۱۳۰،۰۰۰ دلار بدهی دانشجویی تحمیل شده است  که او با آنارشیست ها در اوکلند چمباتمه می زند.

رابطه او با مادرش – تنها فرد خانواده او – پر خطر است و او هیچ سرنخی ندارد که پدرش کیست و چرا مادرش یک زندگی منزوی را با یک اسم ساختگی انتخاب کرده است و یا زندگی عادی او چگونه بوده است.

روبرو شدن با یک فعال صلح آلمانی ، پیپ را به سمت کارآموزی در آمریکای جنوبی با پروژه “نور آفتاب” توسط سازمانی که در تمام اسرار جهان قاچاق می کند ، هدایت می کند.

پیوریتی یک داستان بزرگ از آرمانگرایی جوانی ، وفاداری شدید و قتل است. نویسنده کتاب دنیایی از شخصیت های واضح و روشن را تصور کرده است – کالیفرنیایی ها و آلمانی های شرقی ، والدین خوب و والدین بد ، روزنامه نگارانو شرکت کنندگان – و او مسیرهای درهم تنیده ای را در میان مناظر و اینترنت و جنگ همیشگی بین جنس های مخالف دنبال می کند.

Purity

A magnum opus for our morally complex times from the author of Freedom

Young Pip Tyler doesn’t know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she’s saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she’s squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother – her only family – is hazardous. But she doesn’t have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she’ll ever have a normal life.

Enter the Germans. A glancing encounter with a German peace activist leads Pip to an internship in South America with The Sunlight Project, an organization that traffics in all the secrets of the world–including, Pip hopes, the secret of her origins. TSP is the brainchild of Andreas Wolf, a charismatic provocateur who rose to fame in the chaos following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now on the lam in Bolivia, Andreas is drawn to Pip for reasons she doesn’t understand, and the intensity of her response to him upends her conventional ideas of right and wrong.

Purity is a grand story of youthful idealism, extreme fidelity, and murder. The author of The Corrections and Freedom has imagined a world of vividly original characters – Californians and East Germans, good parents and bad parents, journalists and leakers – and he follows their intertwining paths through landscapes as contemporary as the omnipresent Internet and as ancient as the war between the sexes. Purity is the most daring and penetrating book yet by one of the major writers of our time.

Purity Quotes

“Everyone thinks they have strict limits,” she said, “until they cross them.”

“There’s the imperative to keep secrets, and the imperative to have them known. How do you know that you’re a person, distinct from other people? By keeping certain things to yourself.”

“The world was overpopulated with talkers and underpopulated by listeners,”

“Don’t talk to me about hatred if you haven’t been married.”
― Jonathan Franzen, Purity

“It’s like having one red sock in a load of white laundry. One red sock, and nothing is ever white again.”

“it seemed as if the Internet was governed more by fear: the fear of unpopularity and uncoolness, the fear of missing out, the fear of being flamed or forgotten.”

“There’s the imperative to keep secrets, and the imperative to have them known. How do you know that you’re a person, distinct from other people? By keeping certain things to yourself. You guard them inside you, because, if you don’t, there’s no distinction between inside and outside. Secrets are the way you know you even have an inside. A radical exhibitionist is a person who has forfeited his identity. But identity in a vacuum is also meaningless. Sooner or later, the inside of you needs a witness. Otherwise you’re just a cow, a cat, a stone, a thing in the world, trapped in your thingness. To have an identity, you have to believe that other identities equally exist. You need closeness with other people. And how is closeness built? By sharing secrets. . . . Your identity exists at the intersection of these lines of trust.”

“And maybe this was what craziness was: an emergency valve to relieve the pressure of unbearable anxiety.”

“Whatever else happened, she wanted a dog in her life.”

“The aim of the Internet and its associated technologies was to “liberate” humanity from the tasks—making things, learning things, remembering things—that had previously given meaning to life and thus had constituted life. Now it seemed as if the only task that meant anything was search-engine optimization.”
― Jonathan Franzen, Purity

“Fog spilled from the heights of San Francisco like the liquid it almost was. On better days it spread across the bay and took over Oakland street by street, a thing you saw coming, a change you watched happening to you, a season on the move. Where it encountered redwoods, the most local of rains fell. Where it found open space, its weightless pale passage seemed both endless and like the end of all things. It was a temporary sadness, the more beautiful for being sad, the more precious for being temporary. It was the slow song in minor that the rock-and-roll sun then chased away.”

“Our joint plan was to be poor and obscure and pure and take the world by surprise at a later date.”

“Power, power, power: how could the world be organized around the struggle for a thing so lonely and oppressive in the having of it?”

“He felt like a helium balloon straining skyward on a slender string.”

“Don’t talk to me about hatred if you haven’t been married. Only love, only long empathy and identification and compassion, can root another person in your heart so deeply that there’s no escaping your hatred of her, not ever; especially not when the thing you hate most about her is her capacity to be hurt by you. The love persists and the hatred with it.”

“What happened in the virtual world, where beauty existed for the purpose of being hated and besmirched, was more compelling than what happened in the real world, where beauty seemed to have no purpose at all.”
― Jonathan Franzen, Purity

“I’m starting to think paradise isn’t eternal contentment. It’s more like there’s something eternal about feeling contented. There’s no such thing as eternal life, because you’re never going to outrun time, but you can still escape time if you’re contented, because then time doesn’t matter.”

“[H]er mind was like a balloon with static cling, attracting random ideas as they floated by[.]”

“Tom’s theory of why human beings had yet to receive any message from extraterrestrial intelligences was that all civilizations, without exception, blew themselves up almost as soon as they were able to get a message out, never lasting more than a few decades in a galaxy whose age was billions; blinking in and out of existence so fast that, even if the galaxy abounded with earthlike planets, the chances of one civilization sticking around to get a message from another were vanishingly low, because it was too damned easy to split the atom.”

“[P]art of having a complicated mind was understanding its limits, understanding that it couldn’t think of everything. Stupidity mistook itself for intelligence, whereas intelligence knew its own stupidity.”
