When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
文/嚴傑夫 年初,《哈利•波特》的大戲纔剛落幕,所有人都還沒來得及揣測羅琳未來的創作計劃,但她新作的消息已經不脛而走:據說是一部沒有瞭魔法和鬼怪的作品,據說是一個完全發生在現實中的故事……。當這些四處傳播的小道消息還未完全散去,羅琳新作的中文版已擺到瞭我的...
評分六月底的時候,師傅神秘兮兮地跑到我桌邊,揪著耳朵問我願不願意去英國待兩個月。聽上去很誘人呢。雖然要拋夫棄女、背井離鄉,可畢竟能親眼見識一下大名鼎鼎的“日不落帝國”,也是一件令人心嚮往之的幸事。事實上,我也是用這同樣的誘餌把研究生時的好友老丁騙入夥的。後來...
評分六月底的時候,師傅神秘兮兮地跑到我桌邊,揪著耳朵問我願不願意去英國待兩個月。聽上去很誘人呢。雖然要拋夫棄女、背井離鄉,可畢竟能親眼見識一下大名鼎鼎的“日不落帝國”,也是一件令人心嚮往之的幸事。事實上,我也是用這同樣的誘餌把研究生時的好友老丁騙入夥的。後來...
評分故事的開端起源於Barry Fairbrother,一位在當地頗尊重和歡迎的地區領袖,因為腦部血管爆裂而死亡。他的突然離世,令到他所在的Pagford小鎮的自治委員會齣現瞭一個空缺,這也是小說名字casual vacancy的由來。故事亦圍繞著兩派人爭奪這一空缺位置而展開。 至於為什麼奪得這個...
評分《偶發空缺》最大的新聞點是“J.K.羅琳第一部成人小說”,寫的是成年人的故事,成年人之間的糾葛和他們的紛擾。二三十個主要人物,個個異常傳神,雖俱為麻瓜,可憐可恨之處各不相同。成年人讀這本書,心中最隱秘的角落或許會被照亮,但不用擔心,世無完人,小說中最完美的人物...
羅琳阿姨這書寫早瞭3年.......
评分羅琳寫的鄉村是濃縮的社會,充滿瞭政治鬥爭、地域歧視、傢庭問題和精神病,雖然寫社會寫成年人的愛與恨,她始終沒放下的還是受傷的少年的心。每傢都有惡心的事,每傢都有受傷的孩子。我在想書裏最幸福的孩子Lexie是不是真的像書裏簡單描述的那樣,也許她早就洞察瞭一切。
评分破碎的情節在J.K Rowling的魔法棒下一個個慢慢地星光熠熠地串聯起來,不得不佩服她的寫作手法,又是一部能改編成電影的小說。這是一部真正意義的寫給我這個年齡段(年近而立)及以上成人的小說。國內文字控製太嚴,推薦國內的朋友也要閱讀原版,我不相信那些翻譯能它翻譯成允許齣版的小說
评分生活諷刺,徹骨的無奈。
评分鄉村連續劇。。
